Auto-Schedule Posts is one more plugin for publication timeline work in the blog. The basic idea is as follows that adding new posts and pushing the «Post» button, a module «catches» them and keeps until a certain criterion is not done.
You define these criteria or settings in the WordPress system — when exactly a post is required, with what regularity
Namely, it may be posting in selected spans of time, which will take into consideration a maximum number of posts per day, which, in its turn, should pass in-between two posts.
For Auto-Schedule Posts module installation, you need to download an archive from WordPress official website, un-zip, after that upload in FTP in wp-content/plugins folder.
