Scheduled Content Replacer

Scheduled Content Replacer is a lightweight plugin for scheduling content replacement for existing posts and pages.

Instead of publishing a new scheduled post, prepare future content as a private post or page. Scheduled Content Replacer will copy the content, excerpt, and featured image to the selected published target after the scheduled date and time.

Future content can use descriptive titles such as “Company Profile – July version” while keeping a direct link to the target content.

No configuration is required.

Features

• Schedule content replacement for existing posts and pages.
• Uses private posts or pages as replacement content.
• Copies content, excerpt, and featured image.
• Keeps the target post title, slug, publish date, categories, tags, and custom fields unchanged.
• Uses WordPress revisions through standard WordPress APIs.
• Uses WP-Cron, similar to scheduled posts.

How it works

1. Prepare future content as a private post or page.
2. In the Scheduled Content Replacer meta box, choose the target.
3. Choose the scheduled date and time.
4. Save the private post or page.

When WP-Cron runs after the scheduled date and time, the content, excerpt, and featured image will be copied to the target.
