Description

🎯 Unlock scheduled, date-based experiences on your WordPress site

Scheduled Content brings powerful calendar-based content release tools directly into WordPress. Create beautifully designed pop-up modals containing any Gutenberg content, and choose the exact day they become visible. Add images, videos, blocks, shortcodes — anything the editor supports.

Use it for:

  • Advent calendars

  • Campaigns & promotions

  • Day-by-day challenges

  • Online courses with time-based modules

  • Seasonal messages

  • Pre-planned onboarding

  • Countdown-style content

  • Intervals, exercises, or event content

All without writing a single line of code.

🗓️ Flexible scheduling with smart recurrence

Each item supports:

  • One-time reveal on a specific date

  • Daily repeating (opens once per day after start date)

  • Weekly repeating (same weekday as start date)

  • Monthly repeating (same day-of-month, smart February handling)

  • Yearly repeating (annual seasonal messages)

The recurrence logic is calendar-accurate and runs without cron jobs.

💬 Auto-opening modal windows

Scheduled items can auto-open as elegant modal popups — but only if:

  • The date or recurrence says they should

  • The user has not seen it yet during the current recurrence cycle

This protects users from repeated popups and creates a seamless experience.

🧠 Hybrid tracking: user meta + cookies

The plugin tracks which items users have already opened.

  • Logged-in users: stored in user meta

  • Visitors: stored in cookies

  • One logic for both → fully reliable, even across devices for logged-in accounts

📁 Import / Export (JSON)

Build your content once and reuse it anywhere.

  • Export full category content (including images, recurrence and dates)

  • A header

…that appear automatically in every modal belonging to that category.

Great for consistent branding, recurring CTAs, instructions, or themed campaigns.

🧩 Grid layout with customizable appearance

  • Choose columns, gaps, aspect ratios, colors, and total slots
