It lets you do hourly.

I have two requests for future versions:

1. My blog never posts on weekends. I’d love the ability to exclude weekends from the count of how many days the blog has been inactive. (From a functionality standpoint, I guess this would amount to the ability to exclude days from the count.) RSS Digest does this so I’m wondering if there’s a way to grab the code from there to allow us to specify which days to include and exclude when it’s determining inactivity.

2. I really need the ability to rearrange the order of the queue when needed. Right now, it seems to determine order by creation date. I’m picturing something like the drop and drag queue that Tumblr has but it doesn’t need to be anything that fancy. Just the ability to make a certain post next in the queue regardless of when it was created.

Thanks for all your hard work, is much appreciated!

Thanks for stopping by. As to your questions:

After I install this plug-in, I found that once a while my wordpress generate an error message…

I don’t believe that’s due to Time Release – I think it’s just an ordinary message emitted by simplepie.

I have about 40 drafts and schedule them using time release [...]. I found that the maximum day it can go is 30, the remaining 10 post, show no day post and the tooltip shows “will post on 1 Jan 1970″.

It’s been a while since I looked at the code, but I believe that there’s an optimization that prevents TR from walking all of the posts when it generates the count down. I just assumed nobody would have that many scheduled posts. =)

If and when I release a new version of TR, I’ll see about improving that.

2. I have about 40 drafts and schedule them using time release, I set it to release every 1 day. I found that the maximum day it can go is 30, the remaining 10 post, show no day post and the tooltip shows “will post on 1 Jan 1970″.

Any idea?
thanks

if no page has been posted by 1.00pm (or whatever)
then
post whatever is lined up in the Time Release queue.

Is there any chance of it being updated in this way?

In any case it’s a great plug-in, well done!

Yeah. It should be doable. There’s a function that gets called once every 12 hours (search for ‘cron’ in timerelease.php). You can modify that to get the last post published with timerelease metadata (I believe you call something like ‘wp_query’ and set the metadata field name to whatever the timerelease flag is). If it’s more than 24 hours old, find the next unpublished post with the TR metadata field name and publish that. I believe there’s a function to do the actual publication.

Good luck!
