Overview

Editorial Calendar is a free WordPress plugin that adds a drag-and-drop visual calendar to the WordPress admin, showing all scheduled posts across a team in a monthly or weekly grid view. Posts can be rescheduled by dragging them to different dates, and new posts can be created directly from the calendar interface. Unlike PublishPress, Editorial Calendar focuses on scheduling visibility rather than approval workflows — it is the right tool for small teams or solo content managers who need a simple overview of what is publishing when, without the overhead of a full editorial workflow system.

  • Monthly and weekly calendar views of all scheduled content
  • Create new posts directly from the calendar interface
  • View draft posts scheduled for future dates
  • Quick edit post titles and dates from the calendar
  • No setup required u2014 install and activate to see the calendar

Common use cases

  • Small B2B marketing team needing a simple scheduling overview without a paid tool
  • Solo content manager visualising the publication schedule for the next 4 weeks
  • Team checking for content gaps in the publishing calendar before planning new articles

Why it matters for B2B

Small B2B content teams managing a blog without a dedicated content ops tool benefit from a simple visual calendar without the complexity of CoSchedule or PublishPress. The drag-and-drop rescheduling lets marketing managers easily shift publishing dates when business priorities change — such as pushing back a product article to align with a launch date — without manually editing each post.
