How To: Backup your WordPress Website on a Schedule
Posted in: Tutorials by Brad Williams on August 24, 2009
A common question among WordPress users is: “How can I backup my WordPress website?”. To do proper backups, we recommend a plugin called: WP-DB Backup
The WordPress Database Backup Plugin can be configured to automatically backup all of your WordPress content on a schedule. You can also configure the plugin to email you a copy of the backup after it completes.
Auto-backups can be ran hourly, twice daily, once daily, or once weekly. You can also select which database tables are saved during the backup. If you have old database tables that don’t need a backup you can choose to ignore those during the backup process.
The WordPress Database Backup plugin is a great no worries approach to WordPress backup. Set your scheduled backups and watch as your backup file is emailed directly to you like clockwork!
How To: Publish a Post at a Future Date and Time
Posted in: Tutorials by Brad Williams on August 22, 2009
WordPress has the ability to automatically publish any post at a future data and time. First click the “Edit” link next to the Publish setting in the Publish meta box:
Next set the month, day, year, and time that you want your post to publish and click “OK”:
WordPress will automatically publish your post at this exact date and time.
This makes it extremely easy to write posts ahead of your publishing schedule and have them published automatically. This is a great technique if you are going on vacation but don’t want a big gap in posts published on your website or blog.
