Automation Settings
The Automation Settings allow publications to be automatically triggered based on an event or a schedule.
Note: This functionality is part of Staatic Premium Edition and requires an active subscription.
Publish on Event
Automatically schedule a publication when a post is saved
Enabling this setting schedules a publication when a public post is published or updated, including scheduled posts that move from future to publish. Revisions, autosaves, and post types that are not public site content are ignored.
Post-save automation uses Publish Changes. If there is no active publication to compare against, or if there are no tracked changes since the active publication, Staatic falls back to a full publication.
Automatically schedule a publication when a post is deleted
Enabling this setting schedules a full publication when a published post is deleted or unpublished. Staatic tracks other change events internally, but this automation setting only starts publications for post changes.
Publish on Schedule
Automatically schedule a publication
Enabling this setting schedules a full publication based on the chosen schedule, whether content has changed or not. The available intervals come from WordPress schedules and include Never.
Note: this setting requires WP-Cron to be functioning correctly. For more information see our WP-Cron setup tutorial
When the schedule is saved, Staatic removes any existing staatic_publish cron event and schedules a new one. Scheduled and event-triggered publications are asynchronous; if a publication is already in progress, Staatic does not start a second one.
