Republishing old posts with Jetpack subscriptions

    Hi,
    Up until a few days ago, I was able to unpublish an old post (set as draft) and then republish it with current date and send mails to jetpack subscribers.
    Now I am not able to do this. That is mails are not being sent for the republished post.
    Is this because of an update in Jetpack or wp? The same is the case with mailpoet too.
    Kindly let me know.

    Jetpack was built not to send any subscription emails for posts that were republished; we built the module to only send emails for newly published posts. If you were able to do that before, it was a bug ??

    We chose not to trigger subscriptions when the post status changes like that, as it could then be triggered by mistake, when making changes to a post, or when importing posts form another site for example.

    I hope this clarifies things a bit.

    Thank you. I understand. ??

    Dear Jeremy,

    I also used to do this (i.e. change the post to draft or pending and then republish it). I found it to be a REALLY USEFUL function because it then allows old posts to be sent to new subscribers who have not seen the posts before.

    Would you/Could you make it so that old posts can be resent please? I for one would really appreciate the ability to do this; it preserves old comments and averts having to duplicate content which in my view is not a good thing.

    Any chances you might implement this request? Thanks, Susan

    If you can’t or won’t change Jetpack to allow this, do you know of another plug in I might use to do so? Thanks, Susan

    We might add that option at some point in the future, but that’s not on our roadmap right now.

    Until then, you could check other subscription plugins and solutions like Mailchimp or MailPoet.
