-
How do I get help using the calendar?
-
The WordPress Editorial Calendar Google Group is a good place to ask questions, find answers, and post feedback. We also follow the WordPress.org forum Editorial Calendar discussion.
-
You can move around in the calendar using the arrows next to the months at the top or your mouse wheel. You can also move using your keyboard:
- Move 1 week into the past – Up Arrow
- Move 1 week into the future – Down Arrow
- Jump multiple weeks into the past – Page Up or Ctrl+Up Arrow
- Jump multiple weeks into the future – Page Down or Ctrl+Down Arrow
-
How do I change the first day of the week?
-
The editorial calendar follows the Week Starts On preference on the WordPress General Settings page. Choose the day you want and the calendar will use that day as the first day of the week.
-
Quelles langues sont supportées par le calendrier ?
-
Le calendrier est disponible en anglais, allemand, croate, danois, espagnol , français, grec, hébreu, italien, japonais, lituanien, néerlandais, norvégien, polonais, portugais brésilien, russe, suédois et tchèque.

Puis-je ajouter de nouvelles langues ?
-
Yes please! We are looking for translators. It only takes about 20 minutes. If you’re interested please contact us.
-
Comment l calendrier fonctionne
-
The calendar is written in JavaScript. It contacts your blog when it scrolls to get data about your posts. Just like Google Maps. Creating a JQuery Powered Posts Calendar for WordPress explains a lot of the technical details.
-
Le calendrier collecte t-il des données de mon blog ?
-
After you use the calendar a few times we’ll prompt you to let us collect a little data about your blog. Information like the size of your browser window and the number of posts you have per day help us make the calendar even better.
The collected data is all available to the public. Check out the Editorial Calendar Statistics.
-
What users can use the calendar?
-
The editorial calendar works differently based on your permissions.
- Administrators and Editors can use every feature available in the calendar.
- Authors can use the calendar to edit, move, and publish their own posts, but other people’s posts are read-only.
- Contributors see everyone’s posts and move their own posts, but can only save drafts.
- Les abonnés ne peuvent pas voir le calendrier.
You can see how it looks for different users on our Zack’s WordPress Sandbox with the following users:
- edgar l’éditeur
- alice l’auteure
- conrad le contributeur
- sam l’abonné
Each of these users has the password test.
-
Can I use the editorial calendar with pages?
-
Right now the calendar only supports posts. We’re considering adding pages. If you would like to see pages show up in the calendar let us know.
-
Does the calendar support group blogs?
-
If your blog has multiple authors the calendar will work just fine. You can show author names right in the calendar. Just look under screen options.
We are currently working on new features for multi-author blogs. If you have any ideas please contact us.
-
Can my readers tell I’m using the editorial calendar?
-
No. The calendar is only an administration tool. None of your readers will know you’re running it unless you tell them.
-
Why can’t I move published posts?
-
Moving published posts can cause problems with some RSS feeds and is generally not a very popular thing to do. The calendar only allows you to move scheduled and draft posts.
-
Can I change post colors or styles in the calendar?
-
You can style the posts in the calendar with CSS on your blog. The calendar adds a new CSS class to your post for every catalog. The class is based on the slug for the category.
For example, if you have a category named « My Category » you might have a slug for it named « my-category ». Then you can make all posts with that category show up as red in the calendar with CSS like this:
.post.my-category { color: red; }
You can use any CSS properties to change posts in the calendar based on the post category.
-
Can I change default post time or status when creating new posts?
-
The calendar allows you to create new posts. The default time for this new posts is 10:00 AM and the default status for this new posts is draft. You can change those values by specifying options in your blog.
The
edcal_default_time
property controls the default time for new posts in the calendar. This value is in 24 hour time and you can change it by specifying the time in a format like11:00
.The
edcal_default_status
property controls the default status for new posts in the calendar. The allowed values aredraft
,future
, andpending
for the statuses ofDraft
,Scheduled
, andPending Review
respectively. This value will only be used if the current user doesn’t have access to change that status. For example, if you’re an author then you can’t use a default status ofpending
since you aren’t allowed to publish posts.
