Overview

The TAO Scheduled Change is a straightforward WordPress plugin designed to address the complexities of scheduling content updates for WordPress sites, especially those used as full-fledged content management systems (CMS). Traditional workflows for updating published pages on specific future dates can be cumbersome, especially when employing visual editors and custom fields. Existing solutions often fall short, relying on the clunky and confusing revision system. TAO Scheduled Change offers a streamlined and user-friendly alternative by allowing users to take a snapshot of any post or page, make necessary changes, and schedule it to automatically replace the original content at a specified future date and time. This intuitive functionality ensures a seamless workflow for timely content updates without the need for technical expertise. The plugin is a passion project, available for community collaboration and improvement through its GitHub repository.

I love this plugin. There are times when I need updates to happen when I’m off the clock, and TAO Schedule Update makes it relatively easy to do that. It’s not perfect, but it’s good enough. The problem now is that it hasn’t been updated since 2018. The developer still appears to exist, but has moved on to bigger & better things. It would be wonderful if someone out there took up the mantle and made a new update-scheduler plugin. There doesn’t seem to be any other options that I can find.

I’d love to see WordPress’ official revisions, scheduled publish dates, draft management, etc. be extended to allow for scheduled updates to already-published content. Until that comes to be, this is definitely the next best thing that does what you’d want it to. Bonus that it’s listed on GitHub for community support, suggestions, fixes, etc. I’d think this plugin would get much more use & adoption if the listing was given a few refinements (the public plugin name isn’t all that friendly, doesn’t have an icon or banner, could use a few more screenshots [the animation is nice, though], etc.) That doesn’t really reflect the usefulness or quality of the plugin. Think it makes for why something so potentially useful for so many sites doesn’t have as many active sites using it at the moment.

I still can’t believe WordPress doesn’t have this sort of workflow! I have tried multiple plugins(about 5ish) but none of them worked and were over-packed with features and confusing, I just wanted to schedule new content updates without bringing the current published page down! Now I know this plugin is slightly abandoned and does not work with WP 5.0, but another DEV forked over this plugin and updated so it works on the newest WordPress and works with page-builders like elementor: https://wordpress.org/plugins/content-update-scheduler/ He gives credit to the original plugin author. The plugin is practically identical besides some text changes so check it out if you want to continue using this sort of workflow. The biggest improvement could be to the UI. When scheduling a content update, would be nice after you hit publish for some notification that your post update has been scheduled.

The plugin is excellent, but I need to be updated. a good new feature is to allow post types to be updated as well

This seems like a great and very useful plugin. But when I tried using it published scheduled updates before it was supposed to. So evidently needs an update.
