Version 1.1.0. One-time price of $19. You own it forever.
The Problem With Scheduling Content in WordPress
WordPress lets you schedule entire posts. That’s it. If you want a sale banner to disappear at midnight, a seasonal menu to appear on December 1st, or a members-only content block to expire after a promotion ends — WordPress core has nothing for you.
So most people reach for a page builder. Elementor Pro runs $59 per year. Divi costs $89 per year. Both bury gutenberg block scheduling inside massive ecosystems you have to buy into completely. You wanted a timer on a content block. You got a dependency, a monthly invoice, and a dashboard full of tools you didn’t ask for.
That’s a bad trade.
Block Scheduler Pro exists because timed content in WordPress should not require a page builder subscription. It should be a focused plugin that does one job correctly, works with every block type you already use, and costs you a flat fee once.
How Block Scheduler Pro Works
Step 1: Select Any Block in the Gutenberg Editor
Open any page or post. Click any block — a paragraph, an image, a WooCommerce product block, a heading, a group, a button. Block Scheduler Pro adds a scheduling panel directly in the block sidebar. No new interface to learn. It lives where you already work.
Step 2: Set Your Start Date, End Date, or Both
Choose a start date to make the block appear at a specific moment. Choose an end date to make it disappear. Choose both to define an exact window of visibility. The plugin is fully timezone-aware, so “midnight” means midnight in your site’s configured timezone — not UTC, not the server’s timezone, yours.
Step 3: See Exactly What’s Live, What’s Scheduled, and What’s Expired
Block Scheduler Pro renders visual status badges directly in the editor. Every scheduled block gets a clear label: Live, Scheduled, Hidden, or Expired. You see the state of your content at a glance without publishing and previewing to check. When the scheduled time hits, blocks show or hide automatically — no manual action required.

Who Block Scheduler Pro Is Built For
WooCommerce Store Owners
Run a flash sale on Friday. Schedule the sale banner, the promotional pricing callout, and the “deal ends tonight” block to all disappear at 11:59 PM automatically. No alarm set. No manual editing at midnight. Timed content in WordPress for stores means your promotions start and stop exactly when you say they do.
Membership and Subscription Sites
Publish seasonal content that only appears during specific membership windows. Schedule a “welcome back” block for renewal periods. Hide off-season content without deleting it. Block visibility by date gives membership sites surgical control over what members see and when.
Event Organizers and Venue Sites
Show event details before the event. Replace them with a recap block automatically after. Schedule a “registration open” block to appear on a specific date and expire when registration closes. The block does the work; you set it once.
Marketing and Content Teams
Queue up campaign content in advance. Schedule holiday messaging to go live without requiring someone to be online Christmas morning. Set expiration dates on time-sensitive offers so nothing lives past its usefulness. When you schedule WordPress blocks at the individual level, you get precision that page-level publishing simply cannot provide.
Developers and Agencies
Build client sites that manage themselves between visits. Hand over a site where the client can schedule their own seasonal blocks without breaking anything. Block Scheduler Pro has no conflicts with theme frameworks, plays well with any block-based layout, and adds no maintenance overhead.
Block Scheduler Pro vs. The Competition
Here is what it costs to schedule WordPress blocks with tools that include block scheduling as a feature buried inside a larger product:
- Elementor Pro — $59 per year. Block scheduling is a footnote inside a full page builder ecosystem. You are paying for a product relationship, not a tool.
- Divi by Elegant Themes — $89 per year. Includes content visibility conditions, but only within the Divi builder. If you use Gutenberg, it doesn’t help you.
- Block Scheduler Pro — $19, one time. Works natively inside Gutenberg. No ecosystem. No annual renewal. No feature you didn’t ask for.
Over three years, Elementor Pro costs $177. Divi costs $267. Block Scheduler Pro costs $19 in year one and $0 every year after that. If all you need is gutenberg block scheduling, you should not be paying for a page builder to get it.
No tool at this price point delivers the same focused, native gutenberg block scheduling with timezone awareness, cache-friendly output, zero frontend overhead, and visual editor feedback. That combination does not exist at $19 anywhere else.

How do I schedule WordPress blocks using this plugin?
