Beschreibung
IC Post Launcher turns WordPress into a hands-off publishing machine. Instead of manually setting dates on every post, you define your publishing rhythm once — what time posts go live, how many per day, how many days apart — and IC Post Launcher queues everything into the next open slot automatically.
Built by Inbound Creative, makers of agentic AI software and WordPress plugins, and a full-service web marketing agency. Made for content teams that batch-write and drip-publish.
⚡ Auto-Queue
- Set a default publish time, spacing (daily / every X days / weekly), and posts-per-day limit
- Auto-schedule posts when they’re marked Pending Review, or every new draft
- A queue start date lets your whole schedule begin on any day, month, and year you choose
- Bulk action: select any drafts and Add to Schedule Queue in one click
🎯 Per-Post Control
Every post gets a IC Post Launcher box in the editor with four modes:
- Auto — drop into the next open slot at your default time
- Custom date & time — pick the exact minute, day, month, and year for that post
- Off — protect a post from ever being auto-scheduled
- Default — follow your global settings
A IC Post Launcher column on the Posts list shows every post’s mode at a glance, with Enable/Disable bulk actions.
🚀 One-Click Publish
- Publish Today’s Posts button in the admin bar (with a live count)
- Publish Entire Queue button in settings
- Publish Now bulk action to fire specific posts instantly
- Dashboard widget showing your upcoming queue
🛠 Fine-Tune Anything
The settings page lists every queued post with an inline date/time picker — retime any post to any minute, day, month, or year without opening it.

Installation
- Upload the plugin files to
/wp-content/plugins/post-launcher/, or install through Plugins Add New in WordPress. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.

FAQ
-
Does this work with the block editor (Gutenberg)?
-
Yes. The IC Post Launcher box appears in both the block editor and the classic editor.
-
What happens if a scheduled time has already passed?
-
The post is published immediately instead of getting stuck in „Missed Schedule.“
-
Can I stop one specific post from being auto-scheduled?
-
Yes — set that post’s IC Post Launcher mode to Off. It will be skipped by all auto-queue triggers.
-
Does it support custom post types?
-
Version 2.0 supports the standard
posttype. Custom post type support is on the roadmap. -
Why aren’t my scheduled posts publishing on time?
-
WordPress relies on WP-Cron, which only runs when your site gets a visit. On low-traffic sites, add a real server cron job that requests
wp-cron.phpevery few minutes.
