>> 1) How would the post be recycled if the date stays the same?

Well I assume the term ‘recycled’ in my case was not what I have in mind, I mean for instance if we use ‘auto post scheduler’ to recycle post in order to push post on instagram,facebook or tweeter or any social network (This is what I do), I do not need that ‘recycled’ post to appear ‘again’ on the front page of my blog

>> 2) It should already do this and the keyword search is handled by the WordPress function WP_Query.

I tried already, and unfortunatly it does not exclude or include a title , nevertheless it works great whith tags.

But it seems that in WP_Query $args[‘s’] does not handle title, it would be $args[‘title’], but the behavior is not the same, it search in WP_Query for a title, but I have not seen a way of excluding a title

Hello John

I did more search and here is what I have found

You are right the serach parametre works to find a title, but it does not work when it is used with a hyphen in front, so you cannot exclude title

Same things, with args[‘title’], it does not handle the hyphen in front, so no real solution with keyword search.

So I dig a little bit and found the solution here : https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/18703/wp-query-with-post-title-like-something

It needs to use a filter

So I add one into the plugin

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Title Filter
//
// Source code ==> https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/18703/wp-query-with-post-title-like-something
//

function title_filter($where, &$wp_query){
global $wpdb;
if($search_term = $wp_query->get( ‘title_filter’ )){
$search_term = $wpdb->esc_like($search_term); //instead of esc_sql()
$search_term = ‘ \’%’ . $search_term . ‘%\”;
$title_filter_relation = (strtoupper($wp_query->get( ‘title_filter_relation’))==’OR’ ? ‘OR’ : ‘AND’);
$title_filter_search_type = (strtoupper($wp_query->get( ‘title_filter_search_type’))==’LIKE’ ? ‘LIKE’ : ‘NOT LIKE’);
$where .= ‘ ‘.$title_filter_relation.’ ‘ . $wpdb->posts . ‘.post_title ‘.$title_filter_search_type.’ ‘.$search_term;
}
return $where;
}

And to use it, in the function aps_auto_post

if (!empty($aps_keyword_search)) {
$args[‘s’] = $aps_keyword_search;
//$args[‘exact’] = TRUE;
}

if (!empty($aps_title_search)) {
//$args[‘title’] = $aps_title_search;
add_filter(‘posts_where’,’title_filter’,10,2);
$args[‘title_filter’] = $aps_title_search;
$args[‘title_filter_relation’] = ‘AND’;

if ($aps_title_search_negate==TRUE) {
$args[‘title_filter_search_type’] = ‘NOT LIKE’;
} else {
$args[‘title_filter_search_type’] = ‘LIKE’;
}
}

$args = apply_filters(‘aps_eligible_query’, $args);

So I modified the plugin “Auto Post Scheduler” to a new version to add a new field for the title and a negate checkbox, and now it works, I have made a version 1.80.1 that you can download here to see if you agree to use is or not

I also by the way add the option to keep the original date in this version, you can if you decide ton incoporate it , in your plugin rename the option to whatever your prefer in order to not confuse user

if ( $aps_recycle_keep_original_date ) {

$update[‘post_date’] = get_the_date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’);
}
else
{
$update[‘post_date_gmt’] = date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’,current_time(“timestamp”,1));
$update[‘post_date’] = get_date_from_gmt($update[‘post_date_gmt’]);
}

Here is a link for download : http://www.laurentdufour.eu/auto-post-scheduler-1.80.1.zip

To answer to your question, to post to social network, I already use another plugin , it is called SNAP (Social Network Auto Poster), but to recycle I use your plugin, and the combination of both works like a charm.

Best Regards
