PublishPress Future Pro

Content often has a shelf life: a sale page, a seasonal post, a product that is being retired. Removing or updating these items by hand takes time and invites mistakes. PublishPress Future Pro lets you set the action when you write the content, right from the post editor sidebar, and it runs at the time you chose. It works with posts, pages, products and custom post types, including custom statuses.

Beyond single actions, the plugin supports workflows with several scheduled steps and if/else logic, so different conditions can lead to different results. Emails can go out alongside content changes to keep editors and contributors informed. Quick Edit and Bulk Edit let you adjust dates on many posts at once. It suits editorial calendars, promotions and product lifecycles on blogs, WooCommerce stores and learning sites.

Features

• Schedule future content changes: Choose a date from the post editor sidebar and have a post, page, product or custom post type unpublished, deleted, trashed or moved to another status automatically.
• Multi-step workflows: Chain several scheduled steps together in a custom workflow, so a more involved content change runs in order without anyone stepping in each time.
• Conditional if/else logic: Add conditions to a workflow so that different actions run depending on the situation, which gives you finer control over how content changes.
• Automated email notifications: Send customized emails during or after a workflow so your team and contributors know when the status of a piece of content has changed.
• Quick Edit and Bulk Edit: Change scheduled action dates for many posts at once using the Quick Edit and Bulk Edit tools already built into WordPress.
• Custom post types and statuses: Manage future actions on WooCommerce products, LearnDash classes and other custom post types, with compatibility for custom statuses.
• Public expiry dates via shortcodes: Show visitors when a post expires or changes by placing customizable shortcodes inside your content.
• Action logs and taxonomy updates: Review a log of scheduled and executed actions, and add, remove or replace taxonomy terms as part of a scheduled action.

Best for

• Bloggers and editors running content calendars

• E-learning sites managing LearnDash classes and custom post types
