Republish Old Posts Pro gives evergreen WordPress articles another chance to appear in date-based listings. A republish resets the existing post’s publication date to the current date, which can return it to the front page, move it near the top of archive pages, and put it back in RSS feeds. The date change does not update the article itself.

Prepare your posts and permalinks

Check your permalink structure before using the add-on. Do not use it if your permalinks include dates, because changing a post’s date can affect its URL. Choose evergreen articles that are still relevant to readers.

Set eligibility and timing

Install and activate the add-on, then adjust its settings to suit your republishing schedule. The Pro edition adds controls for how old a post must be, the interval between republishing, and a randomness interval. You can also use a post-level custom field to exclude a post from future republishing.

Check the results

Start with a small selection and review the publication dates, post status, and where the posts appear. Republishing updates the original post rather than creating a duplicate. The plugin does not alter post slugs, and comments remain with the post. Depending on your options, a post’s status may change too. Other plugins that respond to date or status changes can produce unexpected results.

Compatibility notes

The plugin works with WPMU. It is reported to work with Yoast SEO, and no conflicts with other SEO add-ons have been reported. Unusual behavior has been reported when All in One SEO and Republish Old Posts are active together.
