Dual Date Scheduling

Bulk Operations
Recurring Schedules
The WordPress scheduling problem
WordPress only schedules publish dates. Content stays published forever unless manually unpublished. No recurring schedules. No bulk operations. No WooCommerce product automation. No timezone support for global teams. Managing content calendars requires hours of manual work monthly.
Dual Date Scheduling
Schedule both publish AND unpublish dates. Auto-expire content after X days. Perfect for limited-time offers and campaigns.
WooCommerce Automation
Schedule product visibility, featured status, and sale dates. Automatic seasonal catalog changes and flash sale automation.
Bulk Operations
Schedule 50+ posts at once from post list. Bulk unpublish dates for campaigns. Massive time savings for content calendars.
Recurring Schedules
“Publish every Monday at 9am” for newsletters and series. Template-based automation for recurring content.
Why basic schedulers fail
Basic WordPress scheduling only handles publish dates. Content stays live forever. No expiration. No WooCommerce automation. No bulk operations. No recurring schedules. Agencies managing campaigns waste hours manually unpublishing content and rotating products.
WordPress native: Publish only
Only schedules publish dates. Content stays published forever. Manual unpublish for every campaign. Hours wasted monthly.
Basic plugins: Missing automation
No bulk operations. No recurring schedules. No WooCommerce integration. No timezone support. One post at a time scheduling.
Content Scheduler Pro: Complete automation
Dual dates + bulk operations + recurring automation + WooCommerce integration + timezone support + calendar view. Everything agencies need.
🎯 Real Example: Holiday Landing Page
Before: Manual management required
Create Christmas page. Remember to publish Dec 1. Remember to unpublish Dec 26. Set calendar reminder. Hope you don’t forget. Manually change status on both dates.
After: Set and forget automation
Create page. Set publish: Dec 1 at 00:00. Set unpublish: Dec 26 at 00:00. Target status: Draft. Save once. Automatically publishes and unpublishes on schedule. Zero manual work.
🛒 WooCommerce Flash Sale
Problem: 24-hour flash sale needs manual start/stop
Solution: Schedule sale price start/end, featured start/end
Result: Product automatically on sale, featured, then reverts after 24 hours
