Tagging the last published post every hour

  • Hi !

    I need something like a script or a plugin that would automatically tag the last published post every hour or so.
    I run a website with many posts (news releases) and want to export some of them to Twitter automatically, but not all of them (because the Twitter API doesn’t allow for high frequency posting).

    So I want to tag with “tweet” the latest post each hour or so, and then use a Auto-Posting plugin that understands tags to publish to Twitter.

    Also I would appreciate to make an RSS feed of the latest post every hour, so I would have some more lightweight feed to share to my audience…

    Any hints or help welcome. If I could afford it, I would hire a developer but unfortunately I’m just starting my business and can’t pay for that right now,…

  • Cron Jobs is what you need, but cron jobs on WordPress are triggered via visiting a page on your website so unless you have a good traffic on your website there is no guarantee it will be triggered every hour.

    Cron Jobs on the server on the other hand is what run on every hour (when setup) and that will run a script to tag your posts, but this will need an admin access to the hosting server where you setup the Cron Job.

    What is you development experience?
    Whats your Hosting and do you have admin access to it?

    Let me know I might be able to help(for free)

    no worries at all I will come back to you when I have something to show, give me couple days as I will have time to do this by next Monday.

    Thank you so much !
    It would be nice to be able to configure the time interval, and maybe to be able to add several tasks like this in the same plugin. But maybe I ask too much ??

    Cheers !

    I would officially thank you on my website and refer to your website if you want.

    hi please use this simple plugin I wrote for you, it will tag the latest post with the ‘tweet’ and it will run every hour.

    This is a WordPress cron job so it will need a website visiting.

    Also you can use this Cron Monitor plugin to manage all the cron jobs on your website.

    Please test and let me know if its need anything.
