WordPress: disable scheduled posts / publish posts immediately

2 Views

Is there a way to disable the functionality of having a scheduled post / post in the fututre programmatically for every post on the entire website?

I have only found answers on this (code for functions.php or plugins such as “The Future is now”) from like 5-6 years ago, which apparently do not work anymore.

  1. You could remove the action _future_post_hook in your functions.php file:

    <?php
function onetarek_prevent_future_type( $post_data ) {
     if ( $post_data['post_status'] == 'future' && $post_data['post_type'] == 'post' )
     {
          $post_data['post_status'] = 'publish';
     }
     return $post_data;
}
add_filter('wp_insert_post_data', 'onetarek_prevent_future_type');
remove_action('future_post', '_future_post_hook');
?>
