One of the most powerful features of WordPress is that you can load up a bunch of posts and set the publish date to sometime in the future.
In fact, I just got finished adding a bunch of posts to this site for the next several weeks.
But as I was about to get started, I thought it would be great if there was a way to see which dates already had posts scheduled and which ones didn’t. You know, just in case you schedule one for the wrong day or want to see which dates down the road you already have covered.
So a quick search on Google led me to this resource, a future posts calendar plugin for WordPress that allows you to see when future posts are scheduled.
Of course, you can see this on your dashboard or in your Manage –> Posts menu, but it’s so much more useful to see it right there on the calendar, with several weeks worth of posts scheduled, all highlighted in green on the calendar. Good positive feedback.
It’s pretty simple to install and use. Just follow the instructions on the site or check out the readme file that comes with the download.
