Here are the steps:

  1. First you’ll need a post you want to future-publish. Login to your WordPress admin. Go to the “Write” section to write a new post, or open one of your drafts.

  2. In the “Post Timestamp” box (click the plus sign next to “Post Timestamp” if you can’t see it), check the checkbox that says “Edit Timestamp.”

  3. Enter in the date and time on which you want the post to future-publish. The fields are: month, day, year, hour, and minute. Note that the timestamp is in 24-hour time, so “3:12 PM” would be “15:12″.

  4. Click “Publish,” and you’re done!

Now your post should show up under “Scheduled Entries” under Dashboard.
