 * Hi Sayan,
 * I have 5 years worth of blog posts. I’m wanting to republish the older blog posts
   once a week. So my question is: what settings do I need to put in to accomplish
   this?
 * The following current settings are NOT working.
 * My current settings are:
 * Maximum republish interval: 5 days
    Randomness interval: up to 24 hours Republish
   eligibility age:1095 days (3 years)– (I’d do five years but that option is not
   available.) Post Type: Post Categories: Starseeds, Ancient Aliens
 * Thank you for your help,

 * Sorry Sayan,
 * After creating the above topic, I went to my website and there was a republished
   older post. I have two questions:
 * 1. The Automatic Republish plugin has republished 3 older posts at different 
   times put is putting the SAME date on all of them. The one that just republished
   today (April 9, 2020) has a date of March 19, 2020.
 * 2. Are the settings I have the right ones to get an older blog post republished
   every week?
    My Current Settings: Maximum republish interval: 5 days Randomness
   interval: up to 24 hours Republish eligibility age:1095 days (3 years)– (I’d 
   do five years but that option is not available.) Post Type: Post Categories:

 * I think you have selected 2nd Position from Plugin Settings -> Republish Post
   to Position. If yes, please set it to 1st position.

 * At this stage only upto 3 years is available. So, posts which are 3 years old
   from now will be selected for republish.
    I think this configuration is right
   according to your need. Using this config, plugin will get all posts whose post
   date is less than 3 years and republishes them in a interval of 5 days and randomness
   upto 24 hours is added to the 5 days.
 * Thanks!
