Schedule content updates for any WordPress page or post type.

== Description ==

WordPress lacks the ability to schedule content updates. Keeping your posts and pages up to date manually can often be a waste of valuable time, especially when you know you'll need to update the same page again soon.

== Use Cases ==
* **Promotions:** Automatically publish versions of your pages that contain temporary promotions and schedule content updates that remove these promotions once they expire.
* **Events:** Schedule content updates for pages that list events. Automatically publish an updated version of the page after an event ends.
* **SEO:** Schedule series of content updates to keep your pages and publishing dates current and satisfy the freshness algorithm.

== Key Features ==
* Updates page content and publishing date
* Compatible with any post type
* Compatible with Elementor and Oxygen Builder
* Nested content updates (multiple updates of the same page scheduled in a row)
* Lightweight code

== Credits ==
Developed by [Infinitnet](https://infinitnet.io/) and based on the abandoned [tao-schedule-update](https://github.com/tao-software/tao-schedule-update) plugin. Major contributions by [Immediate Media](https://immediate.co.uk/).

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
