We aren’t 100% embedded into your WordPress install for all purposes, but this is by design.

Social messages are handled a bit differently, and sent remotely from the CoSchedule servers.ĬoSchedule is a web application that integrates deeply with WordPress through the use of the CoSchedule plugin. Posts on the calendar are simply synced with your WordPress install, not moved.

How much functionality of CoSchedule is in the actual plugin versus the website?ĬoSchedule relies completely on WordPress core for post scheduling and publishing. Adding Comments Or Tasks Interview With Founder Garret Moon Following a post means you’ll receive notifications for any activity that occurs on that post. For each task that is completed, the task creator will receive a notification that it’s been completed. Besides being able to write comments, depending on your user role, you can assign tasks to that writer. This has proved to be an invaluable feature that makes collaboration easy. Just like Edit Flow, my favorite feature in CoSchedule is the ability to provide editorial comments attached to a post. Controlling CoSchedule UsersĬoSchedule has integration support for Bitly, Google Analytics, and Google Calendar. I love how there is a clear explanation of what each role allows on the bottom of the Team Members page. That way, it just adds them to the team members list. One improvement that could be made here is when typing in a users name, CoSchedule looks at the WordPress users and auto suggests a match. The owner of the site has the power to create new users and assign them roles. Just like Edit Flow, CoSchedule gives you the ability to create users and assign them specific roles.

One thing I didn’t like is the lack of bold colors for the fonts used throughout the interface. Light Grey On White Is Not A Good Combination Changing when these events occur is as simple as clicking and dragging the post from one day to the next. Creating A Social Media PostĪs you can see from the following screenshot, social media posts show up in the calendar alongside blog posts. Being able to control when and how your social media messages are displayed along with content is a great combination. Unlike Jetpack, you can control when the social media message is broadcasted. Not only can writers create and manage posts through CoSchedule, they can also manager their social media presence by connecting their accounts similar to the way Publicize works in Jetpack. Controlling Social Media And Content From One Interface If you don’t, it will throw off the entire system. When setting up for the first time, make certain you select the appropriate time zone. They also disappeared once I went through the process once. It’s the first time those tips came in handy. Installing and configuring CoSchedule was a breeze thanks in large part to a video explanation and the excellent use of pointers introduced in WordPress 3.3. New users have 14 days to try out the service.

The option of cancelling your account at any time, no credit card required.
