Hey,

Thanks for the nice plugin.

I want you to help me with post time eligibility, like i have posts which are newer like 1-3 days old, i want them to auto republish on its own. Where can i replace 30 days to 1 day time please?
I tried with other localhost setup with older posts than 30 days and choose 30 days time, I wanted to test, so it didnt really auto republish the posts every hour or so.

What i want to achieve is, setup auto republish with 1-3 days old posts, once eligible posts found, than from thereafter it always do auto republish with like 12 hours delay or so random posts. Please can you guide me a bit where to edit the code?

Thanks

Hi @oct4v3

Go to wp-content\plugins\wp-auto-republish\admin\settings-fields.php on line 99 and add this line $items = apply_filters( 'wpar_republish_eligibility_age', $items );.

Before: http://prntscr.com/mfrge4
After: http://prntscr.com/mfrgzc

And then add this snippets to the end of your active theme’s functions.php file:
```
add_filter( 'wpar_republish_eligibility_age', 'wpar_add_custom_age' );

function wpar_add_custom_age( $items ) {
    $item = array(
        '1' => __( '1 Day', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '2' => __( '2 Days', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '3' => __( '3 Days', 'wp-auto-republish' )
    );
    return array_unique( array_merge( $item, $items ) );
}
```
This will add options like this: http://prntscr.com/mfrfby. Then select resave changes.

Thanks!

Hey, i have done as you said, Snippet 1 and Snippet 2

I have added Snippet 2 to functions.php file in current active theme, but unfortunately, i cannot see the dropdown option of 1,2,3 days yet in your plugin options.

Do i need to maybe add these options of day in your plugin for snippet 2 aswell?

How does it relate to add snippet to function.php file of active theme?

Thanks for quick reponse

Appreciated

On Settings-fields.php files

```
    $items = array(
        '1' => __( '1 Day', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '2' => __( '2 Days', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '3' => __( '3 Days', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '30'   => __( '30 Days (1 month)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '45'   => __( '45 Days (1.5 months)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '60'   => __( '60 Days (2 months)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '90'   => __( '90 Days (3 months)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '120'  => __( '120 Days (4 months)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '180'  => __( '180 Days (6 months)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '240'  => __( '240 Days (8 months)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '365'  => __( '365 Days (1 year)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '730'  => __( '730 Days (2 years)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '1095' => __( '1095 Days (3 years)', 'wp-auto-republish' )
    );
```
Is this correct? I didnt add anything in functions.php file of current active theme, will this work?

Thanks

OK i saw and fixed as you mentioned, its showing there in dropdown all good.

But its not changing post publish dates which were published like 1-3 days ago

What setting do i need to use?

I want to publish each post which were published like 1 or 2 or 3 days ago

I have resaved the settings with 1 day ago, but it didnt republish

Please help with screenshot of settings

I want this setting to work:

http://prntscr.com/mft3bj

Minimum Republish Time is 6 hours

But it isnt working, not republishing post, is it maybe time setting? Or is cron is of an issue? All good on my hosting.

Thanks

Hi @oct4v3

I can suggest you this:
```
    $items = array(
        '1' => __( '1 Day', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '2' => __( '2 Days', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '3' => __( '3 Days', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '30'   => __( '30 Days (1 month)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '45'   => __( '45 Days (1.5 months)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '60'   => __( '60 Days (2 months)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '90'   => __( '90 Days (3 months)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '120'  => __( '120 Days (4 months)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '180'  => __( '180 Days (6 months)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '240'  => __( '240 Days (8 months)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '365'  => __( '365 Days (1 year)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '730'  => __( '730 Days (2 years)', 'wp-auto-republish' ),
        '1095' => __( '1095 Days (3 years)', 'wp-auto-republish' )
    );
```
But if you update this plugin then this customization will be gone.

I want to publish each post which were published like 1 or 2 or 3 days ago
I have resaved the settings with 1 day ago, but it didnt republish

Please check your settings twice as it is working perfectly on my end.

Thanks!
