== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I drag posts to a different calendar view? =

If you wish to drag a post to a different calendar view (e.g. drag an event from January to February) press left/right on your keyboard while dragging the post.

Yes, simply click the post and a popup will be displayed allowing you to edit the post, once done save the post and close the window. The dashboard will automatically be updated without reloading the page.

= Can I restrict access to certain users? =

Yes, by default any user with the core 'edit_posts' capability has access to Content Scheduler. If you want to amend the capability you can do so using the wpcs_content_scheduler_capability filter hook (see above for details).

= My calendar does not display any posts/pages/custom post types? =

Content Scheduler requires the permalinks of your WordPress website to be flushed so a new rewrite is included which the calendar attempts to access. Upon activation permalinks should be flushed automatically, but it is possible this process could fail during activation. If your calendar is not showing anything then we recommend manually flushing permalinks by re-saving the permalinks in 'Settings > Permalinks' from your WordPress dashboard.
