As content operators, we fully understand that in the age of information explosion, the timing of content release often determines its dissemination effect.A function that can accurately control the release time is indispensable, whether it is to coordinate with market activities, maintain a stable update frequency, or release important announcements at specific time points.AnQiCMS (AnQi Content Management System) is well-versed in this, providing us with a simple yet powerful scheduling mechanism to ensure that every meticulously prepared article is presented to readers at the most appropriate time.
Skillfully utilize AnQiCMS for scheduled publishing, making content operation more relaxed
One of the core advantages of AnQiCMS is its built-in 'Time Factor - Scheduled Publishing Functionality'.This feature is designed to provide great flexibility and automation support for small and medium-sized enterprises, self-media operators, and users who need to manage multiple sites.It frees our content operations from the束缚 of manual publishing, allowing us to invest more energy into content creation and strategy planning, rather than watching the clock waiting for publication.
Imagine, when you need to publish content for users in different time zones globally, or update content during the night or on holidays, without scheduled publishing, it means you need to manually stay up late.But with AnQiCMS, these are no longer problems.You can plan your content calendar in advance, set articles to go live automatically at a specific future time, and the system will execute it precisely for you, thereby greatly improving operational efficiency and reducing manual errors.
Practical Guide: How to achieve scheduled publishing of articles with AnQiCMS
Setting scheduled publication of articles in AnQiCMS is very intuitive. The entire process is completed within the regular workflow of editing articles, without the need to learn complex configurations.
Firstly, you need to log in to the AnQiCMS backend. After logging in, you will find that all the functional modules are clearly visible.
Navigate to the 'Content Management' on the left menu and select 'Publish Document' or 'Edit Document'. Here, you will see a familiar content editing interface.
In the document editing interface, in addition to the conventional options such as title, content, category, keywords, etc., you will notice a key setting item - 'Publish Time'.This field will automatically fill in the current operation time, meaning that if you save it now, the article will be published immediately.
To implement scheduled publishing, simply click and set this 'publish time' to a specific date and time in the future.For example, if you wish for the article to go live at 9:00 AM on the following Monday, adjust the date to the following Monday and set the time to 09:00:00 exactly.2006-01-02 15:04:05This format, you can select according to the interface prompts or enter manually.
Once you set a future publish time and save the document, this content will not be displayed on the front end immediately.AnQiCMS will silently wait until it precisely reaches the moment you specify.At that time, the system will automatically change the publishing status of the article from 'Draft' or 'Pending Publication' to 'Published', and make it visible on the front page. The entire process does not require any manual intervention.
Use scheduled publication to optimize your content strategy
The convenience brought by this automation capability is self-evident. It is not only about saving the trouble of manual clicks, but also empowering us to better plan content strategies:

Common Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can the publication time of content scheduled for release be modified after it has been published?
Of course, you can.Even if the article has been set for scheduled publication, you can always enter the background to edit the document and adjust the 'publication time' before it is actually published to the front page.If the article has already been published, you can also modify its publish time, but this usually only affects the publish date recorded in the background and will not make it disappear from the front end.If you need to manually set a published article to be invisible, you usually need to change its status to 'Draft' or 'Trash'.
Q2: If I set a scheduled post, but the content is still not visible at the scheduled time, what could be the reason?
There are several common reasons that could cause this situation:
- Cache issuesThe website may have enabled static caching, causing the page to refresh in a timely manner.Try to manually clear the cache of AnQiCMS admin panel, or wait for a while to let the cache be automatically updated.
- Server time is not synchronizedIf the server time of AnQiCMS where it is located differs from the time you set for publishing, it may also cause delays. It is recommended to check the server's time settings.
- Publish time setting errorPlease carefully check whether the published time you have set has really arrived, including year, month, day and specific hours, minutes and seconds.
- Article statusConfirm whether the article is in the "Draft" or "Pending Publication" status, and there are no other settings (such as "Closed Site") preventing it from being displayed.
Q3: Does AnQiCMS support scheduling articles to go offline (or expire)?
Based on the currently provided functional description, AnQiCMS focuses on the ability to 'publish and go live' at a specified time point.The document does not explicitly mention the built-in 'scheduled deactivation' or 'article expiration' feature, which allows articles to automatically hide from the front page after a specific time.If you have this need, you may need to perform manual operations, or consider combining other features (such as, when the article was published a long time ago, excluding it from certain lists through customized query conditions, but this is not the real 'take down').
