Description
Hwinote ROP Scheduler helps administrators manage scheduled refreshes for older WordPress posts.
The plugin allows you to enable automatic refreshes for individual posts, define update intervals in days, limit the number of posts updated per day, and manage update statuses from a dedicated administration screen.
The plugin updates the post modified date. It does not modify post content.
