Configuring Minimum and Maximum Days Filter

Hello Greg ??

Content Resharer uses the maximum and minimum post age as well as the post categories to determine what posts to share. Please make sure you have included all of the post type you want and that you do not have too many excluded categories.

Content Resharer Pro tells you how many posts are eligible baed off the post filters you set so you will know if you are only sharing a single post because of the post filter settings.

If you are still experiencing problems please let me know.

I’ve set what post types I want to see published but if you take a look at the twitter feed my site is feeding to you will see that your plugin is not working as intended. It’s posting the same post over and over again at every interval. I would expect it to know which post it posted last and not publish it again until it cycles back around. Check @Linkingin2Sales on Twitter.

It’s posting the same post over and over again at every interval.

This is normally due to the fact that your Post Filter setting are too restrictive and therefore only one post can be shared. This means that when each interval comes around there is only one post that can be shared.

I would try to adjust your Post Filter settings based on you site to include more eligible posts when resharing. This will help you to not reshare the same post over and over again.

Also, Content Resharer is meant to share your older posts, normally blog articles, to your specific social media platform. It works best when you have a lot of older posts, maybe 100 or so, that meet your Post Filters. This way the duplicates are much more rare.

I have about 100 posts on this site, 86 of which are podcast episodes. I have plenty of content.

Here are my settings under Twitter / Filters

Minimum Days to be eligible – 1500
Maximum Days to be eligible – 0
Post Types – [checked] Posts, [not checked] page, [not checked] attachment
Exclude Categories – all unchecked except for one called Press Releases

Do you see an issue with these setting?

Ok I see the problem.

Minimum Days to be eligible is the number of days old a post must be to be shared. So since you have 1500 that means posts that were published over 1500 days ago can be shared.

Maximum Days to be eligible is the number of days old a post can be in order to be shared. Usually this is a number like 60 which would mean that no posts older than 60 days can be shared, but you can use 0 which means that there is no age limit.

So essentially you are sharing posts that are at a minimum 1500 days old. Try to reverse your Minimum Days to be eligible and Maximum Days to be eligible settings so that it looks like this.

Minimum Days to be eligible = 0
Maximum Days to be eligible = 1500

Thank you for the clarification. I’ve adjusted the settings and will check back with the results. Thank you for your help!
