Rescheduling old posts to republish at a future date

  • We are wanting to refresh old posts on our blog and schedule them to get “republished” to the home page of our blog on a future date. However, when we edit the “Published” settings date and set it to a future date, the post gets removed from the blog and put back into a “Scheduled” status. Many of these posts are “evergreen” and bringing in traffic so we don’t want to have them get removed from our site.

    So to recap, we need the ability to be able to reschedule already published posts to get “re-published” back on our home page without having them get removed from the site.

    Does anyone know of a plugin or solution to this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

  • I’m looking for the same solution. According to this support doc, it should be as easy as changing the publish date of an old post. However, this has never worked for me. We’re using a bog-standard Loop on index.php and single.php, but changing the date of a published post to a future date results in the post disappearing. I’ve checked, and the post status also switches from publish to future.

    I haven’t been able to find a plugin that fixes this, either. It’s a huge pain to have to set a reminder to republish the date, especially since we try to schedule posts to publish early in the morning.
