SCHEDULE SELECTED CONTENT
Description
Schedule Selected Content is a WordPress plugin that lets you control when specific posts, pages, or media sections become visible. Instead of leaving content accessible immediately, you can release it only during the time windows you choose.
It’s designed for precise, time-controlled publishing using an easy WYSIWYG workflow inside the Visual editor. With a clear countdown timer, the plugin reloads content at the start and end of the scheduled period to help enforce your release window.
Whether you’re running a course module, a competition, or sharing media that should appear at a planned moment, this schedule-based approach supports consistent audience access.
You can install and activate it through the WPMU DEV dashboard, then use the added “Schedule” icon in the editor to configure what should be shown, when it starts, and how long it remains available.
