  1. Parent page

  2. Child pages (5 minutes after the parent page scheduled publishing time)

  3. If included, grandchild pages (5 minutes after the child page scheduled publishing time)

  4. A 2nd publish of the parent page (5 minutes after the child or grandchild pages scheduled publishing time).

To schedule a page for 9am, schedule your publishing times for before 9am. The below example will ensure your pages are live by 9am:

  1. Parent page: scheduled for 8:30am

  2. Child pages: scheduled for 8:35am

  3. Grandchild pages: scheduled for 8:40am

  4. Parent page 2nd publish: scheduled for 8:45am
