This WordPress plugin automatically sends new posts of your blog to twitter as soon as they get published. This also works with posts that are automatically published in the future. It is also possible to send all your old posts to twitter. You can define conditions which posts exactly should be send to twitter: For example you can define that all posts of a certain category or tag should be send to twitter or you can exclude them and let TwitterPosts send all others. TwitterPosts also recognizes if you update the timestamp of a post (for example I use this if a new version is available here: than I just update the version number in the posts title and the timestamp), and twitters this post again. 
The text that will be sent to twitter of course can be customized. You can use placeholders for the title (%title%) and the link (%url%). Additionally you can use a placeholder to include the tags of your post (%tags%). Because Twitter allows only 140 characters per update, the text will be automatically cutted: First of all, of cause TinyURL is used for the posts link. The title will get cutted as far as needed if there are not enough characters left. Only if there are characters left after the text, link and title, the tags will be added as far as possible if the placeholder for the tags is used.
Available placeholders for the Twitter Status Text: %title%, %url%, %tags%.
Supported QueryVars: See https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts#Parameters ! 
cat(categoryid, multiple categorys separated with comma: 1,2 means only posts of category 1 and 2, a minus sign before the id means exclude this category: cat=-1,-2 excludes category 1 and 2), 
tag(the tag name, multiple tags separated with comma means fetch posts that have either of these tags: tag1, tag2, combined with + means fetch only posts that have both tags: tag1+tag2) 
posts_per_page(number), 
offset(number), 
post_type (post or page), 
post_status (publish, …), 
orderby(date,…), 
order(ASC,DESC), 
author(authorid), 
meta_key, 
meta_value, 
…
To send old posts to twitter: Remove the QueryVar “posts_per_page” if used before, deactivate the checkbox “Only posts newer than…” and activate “Trigger TwitterUpdate via Intervall”. Than just wait until all posts have been sent to twitter. This can take a while, because we can only send a small amount of posts per hour to twitter to prevent from beeing blocked as spamer. This means for example the first 10 posts will be sent to twitter and the next 10 posts will be sent about one hour later automatically, than after another hour the next 10 posts will be sent, … If all posts have been sent to twitter the plugin waits until there are new posts to twitter. It is recommented to set the QueryVar “posts_per_page” after all old posts have been sent. 
If you have more than 250 old posts to twitter it is recommented to split them into smaller parts by setting the “posts_per_page” QueryVar to 150 and start with QueryVar “offset” set to your number of posts minus 100 and always subtract 100 if the last 100 have bee sent completely (posts_per_page=150&offset=900, than posts_per_page=150&offset=800, than posts_per_page=150&offset=700, … posts_per_page=150&offset=0).

LH Archived Post Status


When Automattic developed WordPress, it had a crazy notion of what an 'archive' is. 20+ years later, we're stuck to the same definition: WP considers that an 'archive' is really just a list of past articles, neatly ordered by month/year.



But that's not the case. A real Archive is a place where you can store posts that are not relevant any longer — thus keeping them away from the Loop — but without deleting them, because, naturally enough, the whole point of having an Archive is to allow search engines and backlinks to 'old' articles to still work correctly.



This is the whole point of this simple plugin: to allow to add a new status to every post/page, classifying it as having been archived. This means that the post/page will not require any changes: it doesn't need to be deleted, change its category, add any tags, or simply set to Draft (so that it doesn't appear). Instead, posts and pages stay exactly as they were before — just with a new status (beyond the classic ones, i.e., published, private, draft).



Because this status is an addition, this means that all well-behaved plugins and themes will not recognise it as a valid status (i.e. when checking if a post is published, the theme/plugin will not find the archived posts), and so they effectively 'disappear' from the visibility status of most 3rd party code. That's exactly what we expect to happen with an 'archived' post. And that's precisely what this plugin does, and does quite well; as such, it comes as highly recommended by many reviewers, and ranks high on their lists of 'best' plugins for a specific purpose.



The plugin itself is well-written, strictly follows all coding guidelines as set by Automattic and the developer community, regularly maintained, and has very reasonable support on the forums: issues are opened, followed up by the author, and closed when resolved or when threads become stale due to lack of activity. Documentation is minimal, because the plugin is so simple to activate and use (and not because anything is missing).



Sadly, at the time of writing this (July 2023), this plugin suffers from a dependency of a third-party library which, unfortunately, breaks the posting workflow, introducing a new way of saving new posts which is not only counter-intuitive, but lacks essential functionality. Work is under progress to restore the normal functionality of the posting workflow, but, until that happens (which is beyond the plugin author's control), it means that you very likely won't wish to use this plugin on any WordPress site that is used by more than one author.



I will certainly review my classification in the future, once this major issue gets resolved, and LH Archived Post Status works again, flawlessly integrated into the WordPress posting workflow, as it did in pre-Gutenberg days.


If you need to have a real Archive, this is the plugin you want

Allows posts and pages to be archived so you can remove content from the main loop and feed without having to trash it.
