Reviews
what people actually sayEditorial Calendar is well-regarded as a simple, focused scheduling tool for WordPress that makes it easy to visualize and rearrange posts, though a recurring bug causes it to display only published posts and it lacks support for multilingual setups.
What people like
- +Makes it easy to see all scheduled posts at a glance in a calendar view×5
- +Drag-and-drop to reschedule posts is praised as a time-saver×2
- +Focused and simple — not bloated with unrelated features×2
- +Color-codes posts by category, which competing plugins reportedly do not
Common complaints
- −Bug causes the calendar to display only published posts, making it nearly unusable
- −Does not work with multilingual plugins such as Polylang — only shows posts in one language
- −Calendar week direction is reversed (Sunday on left, Monday on right) for Japanese-locale WordPress installs, a long-standing unfixed bug
- −Post status color-coding (draft vs. published) is too subtle and hard to distinguish at a glance
