Possible to create a repeating post? Every night, same post?

    I want to create a repeating post, one that will go live at 730pm every night. The post itself isn’t important, it is only so people can use it to post comments. The comments are the content, so something that simply repeats with the same message is actually what we want. I’m trying to avoid having to do this daily. Is it possible?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hey! I’m glad to clarify.

    Are you looking to set this up on arrowheadguys.com? If so, I checked, and this site isn’t hosted on WordPress.com. You can confirm this here:
    https://wordpress.com/site-profiler/arrowheadguys.com

    If you’re using the self-hosted WordPress.org version (which is separate from us), this guide might help clarify the difference: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

    For what you’re trying to do — creating a recurring post at 7:30 PM daily — a plugin like Auto Post Scheduler (to publish drafts automatically), combined with a post duplicator plugin (to keep the post fresh for new comments) could help achieve that. You can post your query on WordPress.org forum or hire a developer for tailored support.

    If the site you’re referring to is different and is hosted with us at WordPress.com, please share that URL so I can look into options available based on your plan.

    Thank you. I honestly had no idea they were two different things. I’ll do that. I’ll close this since it’s not part of here.

    No worries at all @justletmesignupok, we’re always happy to help. 🙂

    What you’ll want to do now is post your question on the WordPress.org community forums, right here:

    https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

    That forum is perfect for sites that use the WordPress software but aren’t hosted on WordPress.com.

    Now that you know the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, I also wanted to let you know that if you ever decide to move your site to WordPress.com, where you’ll get access to 24/7 support, automatic updates, secure hosting, and many other helpful features that make managing your site much easier, we can help migrate it for free. You can read more about that here:

    Let us know if you have any questions or need any extra help. We’re happy to help anytime.
