    Hi Zack,

    I really like the Editorial Calendar plugin for WordPress. I would like to display the calendar as a widget in the sidebar of my site so my readers can see upcoming posts, when they will be out. Any plans to support something like this? Thanks

    The Editorial Calendar is really aimed at the admin console. There are many event calendar plugins which will show up in your site where users can see them. I never like to say never, but we don’t have any plans to support showing the calendar for blog readers.

    Thanks,
    Zack

    I love the Editorial Calendar, and I’m using it to plan out my writing. I’d just like to request the ability to set Category and tags from the “New Draft” editor in the calendar? 

  • http://www.zackgrossbart.com Zack Grossbart

    Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll try to find a good place for it in a future release.

    Hi Zack, we’re interested in using the editorial calendar, and are curious if it can be used to auto tag a post to be featured on our home page (i.e. all posts with a tag ‘featured’ would show up in this area) each day. For instance, if we had a list of recipes, we’d like to be able to tag a years worth of them in advance, and have the one we designate for a day be updated by a plugin each day. Can your plugin be used in this way?

    Thanks for checking out the Editorial Calendar. The calendar is very focused on post scheduling. That means you could schedule recipes a year in advance and get them to publish. It doesn’t change any other part of the post (like tags) automatically.

    If you want to change tags on specific dates you’ll need to look at another plugin.

    Thanks,
    Zack
