Marketing Mystery Content Republisher
·
Bumps publish dates on a per-item timer you set (from each item’s publish time, GMT)—no duplicate posts.
Updates publication dates so lists and feeds see newer timestamps. Each post, page, or product waits your chosen time after its publish date, then can auto-update. WP-Cron only checks for due items every so often (hourly / twice a day / daily), which is separate from “yearly per post.”
What gets republished
Only post-like content: Posts, Pages, Products (WooCommerce), and any other public post type registered by themes or plugins. Categories, tags, and other taxonomies are not separate targets—the plugin does not “republish” terms.
Highlights
- Schedule — On/off and wait after publish date (hourly … yearly). New installs default to Quarter (Recommended) (~90 days).
- Configure — Choose which public post types are included and how many items run per batch (Advanced).
- Per item — On each post/page/product (etc.), override: follow site default for that type, force ON, or force OFF. Republish now for immediate date bump on published items.
- Safe defaults — New custom post types appear in settings turned off until you enable them.
Important
- Republishing sets published and last modified times to the republish moment. It does not rewrite body content.
- Uses GMT publish time. Bumps may trail the due moment by up to one cron check.
- WP-Cron needs traffic; use server cron +
wp-cron.phpfor steady timing.
Privacy
- Stores settings in the WordPress options table (
wapr_options,wapr_scheduler_sig). - Stores per-post choice in post meta (
_wapr_republish) when not using the default. - Does not send data to external services, analytics, or tracking endpoints.
- Scheduled work runs via WordPress’s own WP-Cron on your server.
