The queue saves you from picking a date for every post. You set the posting times for an account once, like 9:00 and 17:30 on weekdays. After that, every post you Add to Queue takes the next free time. Each social account has its own queue. Set it up for every account you post to.

​
Add posting times

1

Open the account's queue

Click Accounts in the sidebar. Click the ⋯ menu next to the account and choose Queue Publish Times.
2

Add a time

Click + under a day. In Create Timeslot, set the time and tick every day it should apply to (Sun to Sat).
3

Pick a post type (optional)

Leave Post Type on any so the slot takes any post. Pick a type instead if you want that slot kept for one kind of post only.
4

Click Save

You’ll see “Timeslot(s) added successfully.” The new time shows under each day you picked.

​
Fill a week in one go

Quickfill adds a batch of times for you.
  1. Click Quickfill.
  2. Set the Time-range, like 08:00 to 20:00.
  3. Untick any days you don’t want. All seven start ticked.
  4. Choose the Number of posts per day, from 1 to 20.
  5. Click Generate.
Quickfill picks random times inside your range and adds them to the times you already have. It doesn’t replace them.

​
Edit or delete times

Click a time to change it in Edit Timeslot. On a computer, the same window has a Delete button. To start over, click Delete all on the queue page. It removes every time for that account.

​
How the queue picks a time

  • Add to Queue puts a post at the back of the line. It gets the earliest free time after the posts ahead of it.
  • Publish Next puts a post at the front of the line, so it takes the very next free time.
  • When you change the times, PublishBuddy recalculates the queue and moves each post to its new slot.
  • A slot set to one post type only takes posts of that type.
You can reorder queued posts by dragging them on the Posts page, under Queue.

Common messages

You added a post to the queue for an account that has no times yet. Add times for that account (above), or pick Schedule in the composer and set a date.
The account has times, but none take this kind of post. Add a slot with Post Type set to any, or to this post’s type.
Drafts stay out of the queue until you’re ready. Open the draft on the Posts page and click Add to Queue.
There’s no pause button for the queue. If you delete an account’s times, its queued posts lose their slots and won’t go out until you add times again.
