What is Revive Old Posts?
If your content lives in WordPress, the cheapest social strategy is the archive you already have. Revive Old Posts (from the Themeisle team) rotates through your published posts and shares them to social networks automatically on your schedule — oldest gems included — with hashtags derived from categories or tags and UTM parameters for tracking what the rotation drives.
The free GPL plugin covers sharing to X and Facebook; the Pro version adds LinkedIn, Instagram, Google Business Profile, custom post types, and per-network message variations. It's not a general-purpose scheduler — it's an evergreen traffic machine bolted onto the CMS half the web already runs.

FAQ
What does Revive Old Posts actually do?
It automatically reshares your published WordPress posts to social networks on a rotating schedule — plus optionally auto-shares new posts on publish — keeping steady traffic flowing to your archive without manual work.
Is Revive Old Posts free?
The core plugin is free and GPL-licensed on WordPress.org, covering X and Facebook. Pro (from roughly $75/year) adds LinkedIn, Instagram, Google Business Profile, and more control.
Will resharing old posts annoy my followers?
Set a sensible interval (most sites share every 8–12 hours at most), exclude time-sensitive categories, and enable message variations in Pro so repeats don't look identical. Archives are new content to new followers.
Does it work with custom post types?
Yes — Pro supports custom post types and taxonomies, so WooCommerce products or portfolio items can join the rotation.
