Title: Marketing Mystery Content Republisher Author: Dewan Shahedur Rahman Published: 29 April 2026 Last modified: 29 April 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/marketing-mystery-content-republisher. svg) # Marketing Mystery Content Republisher By [Dewan Shahedur Rahman](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dewan-shahedur-rahman/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/marketing-mystery-content-republisher.1.3.4.zip) * [Details](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/marketing-mystery-content-republisher/#description) * [Reviews](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/marketing-mystery-content-republisher/#reviews) * [Installation](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/marketing-mystery-content-republisher/#installation) * [Development](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/marketing-mystery-content-republisher/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/marketing-mystery-content-republisher/) ## Description 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.php` for 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. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/marketing-mystery-content-republisher`, or install through Plugins Add New. 2. Activate through the Plugins screen. 3. **Marketing Mystery Republisher Schedule** — turn on and set how long after each item’s publish date before it can auto-bump. 4. Use **Marketing Mystery Republisher Configure** to enable post types (e.g. post, page, product) and set batch options. ## FAQ ### Will this duplicate posts? No. Existing posts are updated in place; no new posts are created. ### Does this work with custom post types? Yes. Public post types are listed under Configure. New types are discovered automatically. ### Can I republish a single post immediately? Yes. On published items, use the **Republish now** button in the Auto republish sidebar box. It is hidden if the item is set to Force OFF. ### Does it change categories or tags? No. Only **posts/pages/products/CPTs** get new dates. Taxonomies are not edited by this plugin. ### Is this good for SEO? Changing dates affects ordering and freshness signals. Use thoughtfully and monitor your SEO plugin’s guidance. ### How is “one year” calculated? **Yearly** ≈ 365 days from the item’s GMT publish time (fixed length, not a calendar rule). ### Can I keep one post on an old or back-dated publish time? Yes. In the editor, set **Force OFF** for that item. Auto republish never runs for it, so the date stays until you change it yourself. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors and Developers “Marketing Mystery Content Republisher” is open source software.

[Browse the code](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/marketing-mystery-content-republisher/), check out the [SVN repository](https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/marketing-mystery-content-republisher/), or subscribe to the [development log](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/log/marketing-mystery-content-republisher/) by [RSS](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/log/marketing-mystery-content-republisher/?limit=100&mode=stop_on_copy&format=rss). ## Change Log #### 1.3.4 * Developer hooks: `wapr_republish_query_args`, `wapr_allow_republish_post`, `wapr_republish_post_date_data`. * Post meta label clarified: Force ON applies when the item is due by publish date( not “always”). * Plugin header Author set for release; readme `Contributors` aligned with WordPress. org profile. Stable tag bump. #### 1.3.3 * Plugin directory slug and display name no longer use the “WordPress” / “WP” trademark prefix (WordPress.org requirement). Text domain is `marketing-mystery-content- republisher`. Main bootstrap file: `marketing-mystery-content-republisher.php`. * Removed manual `load_plugin_textdomain` (WordPress.org loads translations automatically). * `DEVELOPMENT.md` moved to `docs/` for a clean plugin root; uninstall uses `delete_post_meta_by_key`/` delete_metadata` instead of raw SQL. * PHPCS: documented nonce exceptions for read-only admin `$_GET` flags; prefixed loop variables in admin views. #### 1.3.2 * Security: stricter post meta save (skip revisions/autosaves, allowed post types only); settings whitelist; sanitized admin query args; capability failures use` wp_die`; republish batch validates post types; `republish_single` re-checks status and handles `WP_Error`; success admin notice only when a valid post is editable;` register_setting` sets `show_in_rest` false. #### 1.3.1 * Fix: reschedule cron when “wait after publish” changes even if the scanner stays daily (e.g. monthly quarterly); clear stale hooks reliably. Short note on Schedule explains scanner vs wait. #### 1.3.0 * **Behavior change:** Automatic republish is **per post** (page, product, etc.): an item is updated only when its **publication date (GMT)** is at least as old as your chosen spacing. The same spacing applies again after each bump (from the new publication date). WP-Cron runs a **scanner** (hourly / twice daily / daily) to find due items; Site Health will show that recurrence, not necessarily“ yearly” when spacing is yearly. * UI and readme updated to describe spacing vs. scanner checks. #### 1.2.2 * Schedule: first run for Monthly / Quarterly / Half-yearly / Yearly is after one full interval (not ~1 minute), so “Next scheduled run” matches the chosen cadence. * Cron sync runs after saving Schedule even when the options value is unchanged, and on load the scheduler fixes a mismatch between saved interval and the existing cron entry. #### 1.2.1 * Republish always updates both published date and last modified time; removed the Advanced checkbox. #### 1.2.0 * Remove taxonomy and term-level settings. Republish applies only to enabled ** post types** (Posts, Pages, Products, CPTs) plus per-post overrides. #### 1.1.2 * Taxonomies in Configure default to all unchecked; enable the ones you want for auto republish. #### 1.1.1 * Taxonomies default to ON only for taxonomies used by the Posts type (e.g. Categories, Tags). Others (e.g. WooCommerce) default to OFF until enabled. #### 1.1.0 * Configure Taxonomies: per-taxonomy checkboxes instead of long lists of terms. #### 1.0.2 * Fix: saving Schedule with intervals such as Hourly now stores the selected interval reliably. #### 1.0.1 * Add “Republish now” button on published posts (sidebar) for immediate date update. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release. ## Meta * Version **1.3.4** * Last updated **5 months ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **6.9.10** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/marketing-mystery-content-republisher/) * Tags * [cron](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/cron/)[posts](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/posts/) [republish](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/republish/)[schedule](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/schedule/) [seo](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/seo/) * [Advanced View](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/marketing-mystery-content-republisher/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
