  Can you please give a setting to disable publicizing (and adding post to RSS feed) when editing *old* posts, i.e. posts which already have a Published status? … I recently imported a self-hosted WordPress blog to WordPress.com and when I go to fix up old posts (because I have to move away from custom plugins shortcodes to the WP.com shortcodes, etc.) and they get tweeted and added to RSS feed for each edit which is bad behavior! Please kindly consider this request.

  Others are also feeling the pain : https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/why-does-wp-publicize-edits-on-old-posts?replies=5

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

  Hi there – thanks for reporting this. Edits to previously published posts should not cause them to be re-Publicized, so I’ll let our developers know so they can have a look.

  I’ve also replied in the other thread, asking for some examples. Thanks for your help.
