OPS Old Post Spinner

Yes! This plugin should not be used with permalink structures that include dates. Please explain me the settings' values Old Post Spinner (OPS) checks if a certain amount of time has passed. If so it promotes (or duplicates, depending on the settings) a random post to any position you like. E.G. take this values: Minimum interval between old post promotions: 2000 minutes Random maximum interval (added to minimum interval): 500 minutes Now OPS will every 2000 + X minutes (where X lies somewhere random between 0 and 500) pick up one old post and promote (or duplicate) it to the defined position. OPS will take into account which posting categories you never want to promote You can also specify an minimum age for a post to be considered.

If you want a post to be promoted to position 3 OPS will place it, regarding the date, exactly in the middle between number 2 and (the old) number 3, which now will drop to position 4.

Promoting will move the post to a new position, whereas duplicating will copy a post to the new position, so the latter generates a new post.

They are installed as default values. Minimum interval: 2000 minutes, Random interval: 500 minutes, Post age: 14 days. But maybe you should experiment with your own values. It's up to you.

Spinning means the creation of a new "spinned" content. That will create a new and unique post every time it gets promoted (or duplicated).

That requires a bit of handwork. You can manually add multiple synonym versions of any sentence and any word you want. That is done by using the characters |, { and }. I call this spinning instructions. I give you an example: Hello, my name is {Jack|Jim} and I love {Tennis|Golf}. Using this spinning instructions will generate this four different result sentences every time your article is promoted: Hello, my name is Jack and I love Tennis. Hello, my name is Jack and I love Golf. Hello, my name is Jim and I love Tennis. Hello, my name is Jim and I love Golf. So, with a little bit of extra afford you are able to create a complete unique post every time. Just add as many synonym sentences as you like between the curly brackets ”{“, “}” and separate each synonym sentence by Pipe “|”. You can nest your sentences as well: Hello, my name is {Jim|{Handsome|Ugly}Joe}.

Hello, my name is Jim. Hello, my name is Handsome Joe. Hello, my name is Ugly Joe. IMPORTANT: Please post this spinning instruction sentences in the extra Old-Post-Spinner meta box of Wordpress (see the screenshot) and NOT into the normal text and content form fields

No problem. If you only fill in spinning instructions on the title, then only the title will be spinned. The content won't change. Same with the content, if you only want the content to be spinned, than leave the spinning instructions on the title empty.

Posts promoted to first position will get the current date. Posts below first position will be placed right in the middle of the enclosing posts.

Some posts are simply not meant to be spinned. Especially if they are date-related. E.g. you should place posts with news into an omitted category.
