Publishing Scheduler

The Publishing Scheduler helps you avoid publishing a large number of programmatic pages all at once.

Configure it in:

  • PlaceScale → Settings → Publishing

Monitor and control the queue in:

  • PlaceScale → Tools → Publishing queue
PlaceScale Settings Publishing showing drip publishing settings for count, rate, and jitter

Setting:

  • Enable drip publishing Recommended

When enabled, PlaceScale can queue pages for gradual publishing.

Publish a target number per time period.

Settings:

  • Count period: Per day / Per hour
  • Count: e.g. 10 per day

Publish one page every N minutes.

Setting:

  • Rate (minutes)

Setting:

  • Randomize publish times Optional
  • Jitter (minutes)

This adds small timing variation.

In Bulk Generate, you may see:

  • Use Publishing Scheduler (queue as drafts, publish gradually)

When checked:

  • selecting “Published” will still create drafts
  • drafts are marked for the publishing queue
  • WP‑Cron publishes them gradually
