Revive Old Posts (formerly Tweet Old Post) automatically shares your old WordPress content on social media platforms, driving traffic to posts that would otherwise be forgotten. It posts to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms on a schedule you control — from every hour to once a day — with custom messages, hashtags, and featured images. You choose which categories to include, set the posting frequency, and control whether to share new posts immediately or recycle old content. For content-driven sites and blogs, Revive Old Posts is the most popular tool for getting more value from archived content, competing with Social Auto Poster Pro.
The plugin uses WordPress cron for scheduling and integrates with the WordPress REST API for social platform authentication. Content is shared from a queue with deduplication to prevent the same post from being shared multiple times.
