About Post to Queue
From the official readme · v1.0Description
Plugin homepage | Plugin author | Donate
Don’t want to publish all of your posts at once but hate manual scheduling/rescheduling? Post to Queue comes as a solution. You just put posts to queue and they’ll be published automatically when chosen time passes since last published post of that post type. It’s even possible to choose days of the week and hours of the day when those posts will be published.
Post to Queue is like Buffer for WordPress, just better.
It requires that cron runs regularly to be able to publish posts on time.
Post to Queue code is partly based on a code from plugin Automatic Post Scheduler by Tudor Sandu and a code from plugin Metronet Reorder Posts by Ronald Huereca and Ryan Hellyer for Metronet Norge AS.
And it’s on GitHub.
