Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Republish Old Posts

No. The date on posts is updated to the current date making a post appear new. URLs don't change and comments continue to display with the post.
Yes permalinks with dates would be affected. This plugin shouldn't be used if your permalinks include dates since those dates will change when a post is republished.
Yes it does.
Odd behavior has been noticed when both the All in One SEO plugin and the Republish Old Posts plugin are active. If you're not using the AIO SEO plugin, but still experiencing issues, please leave a message in the support forum. Republish Old Posts works fine with the Yoast SEO plugin and no other SEO plugin conflicts have been reported.
This plugin doesn't alter post slugs. It changes the post date and, depending on the settings, changes the post's status. If you have other plugins that take actions when a post's date or status change, you may see some unexpected results. There isn't much I can do about the behavior of other plugins.
