We are wanting to refresh old posts on our blog and schedule them to get “republished” to the home page of our blog on a future date. However, when we edit the “Published” settings date and set it to a future date, the post gets removed from the blog and put back into a “Scheduled” status. Many of these posts are “evergreen” and bringing in traffic so we don’t want to have them get removed from our site.
So to recap, we need the ability to be able to reschedule already published posts to get “re-published” back on our home page without having them get removed from the site.
Does anyone know of a plugin or solution to this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

You could use "Duplicate post" plugin to clone your posts and then schedule those cloned posts.

Hi There
I don't know of a plugin or easy way to do this. Your best bet is to just keep an organized spreadsheet or list of what content you want to 'republish' when and go in manually on that day and update the date.
EDIT: If your desire is to feature certain posts on the homepage, you could also reconfigure the homepage to show featured posts you specify.

I would improve the articles and then create a script or HTML that allows you to put them anywhere you want. Once the articles are improved, you could also create a custom HTML module that links to the best ones or most recent, then style them differently to help them stand out.
I am assuming that you want them to stand out because you are placing them on the home page, correct? I would NOT just dump a most recent feed (or even that of your old articles that you are trying to get new traffic to) on the home page. I would style them so that the module stands out, and then only link to THE MOST HELPFUL articles to your users.
For example, if you offered marketing, you wouldn't want to link to a post that has some generic info about a Google update just because it is the most recent. You most likely would want to link to a post that explains how you can improve your marketing in some way, or a post that details potential downfalls of a certain type of strategy. Another idea would be to link to a list of the "Best marketing advice of 2015" or something like that. With a plugin, you may have less control over what shows up, and when. For the homepage, I would want to use only the most powerful content I have, and be able to display it the way I want.
This sounds much more appealing than fighting with a plugin to get it to do exactly what you want, but then again I like the manual approach

What are you really scheduling if it's remaining online until the date when you want to "post" it? What you're asking for essentially is for an ability to schedule a change in an existing page's post date for some time in the future. This isn't really going to help you with SEO, and might actually hurt you in terms of duplicate content. It certainly isn't practical if you're putting dates in the permalinks.

Thanks for the answer.
It dose indeed but it's removing the post if it is scheduled for a future date. And if that date is 6 months from now we lose it until it will get reposted.
We are looking fora solution that a post can be scheduled some time in the future but it will stay online until that date comes.

Standard wordpress installation with zero plugin can do what you described, I suggest you read docs and search for info directly on https://wordpress.org/support/

Just to be more clear on it: we want to edit, improve older articles with fresh new content and updates not just change the date but we also do want to keep the old URLs as we have a lot of social exposure on those and direct links. (and yes, we did take into account the 301 as a solution but we will lose the social shares).
So dose anyone knows a solution or a plugin that can do that ? (as if we take a post from 2007 and set it up for dec 2015 we are losing the old one until it will get published in dec 2015.
Thanks !

Does anyone use paid seo tools
Hi, i see a lot of people claiming that paid seo tools work, i would like to know if anyone uses them. I have a new site that i am building and i am wondering if there are any good paid tools out there that could help me gain exposure quicker. I get a lot of emails from well known companies promoting their paid tools but have never bought any as i believe you should hear from people who have tried them first. If you feel there are any good paid seo tools out there for help with rankings and link building then i would love to hear about them

/forum/ or /hookah-forum/
I'm building a new website on Hookah.org. It will have a forum and blog. Should I put them in Hookah.org/hookah-forum/ and Hookah.com/hookah-blog/ or Hookah.org/forum and Hookah.org/blog I think /forum/ and /blog/ are easier for users but am not sure how much adding the word hookah helps with SEO.

What are the SEO implications of URLs that use a # in them?
I have several clients who have begun to ask questions about sites that are designed to look like a single page. When you click on a link, the URL changes but it uses a # before (i.e. http://www.kelloggs.com/teamusa**/#**/teamusa/athletes/kerri-walsh.html. What are the SEO implications of having a page set up this way? I noticed that Google has indexed this page but the indexed URL does not include a #. Is Google indexing a separate version of this page? Any insights would be really helpful! Thanks
