How to Mass Schedule Blog Posts That Are Already Published.

Hi all,

I have a blog that has several hundred blog posts that are already published. I would like to make all of them draft posts and then schedule them for future posting at auto-random dates.

Problem is that the default way to put blog posts en-masse only allows for selecting 20 blog posts at a time, and this will take a lot of time if I had to do hundreds.

Is there a plugin I can use to:

1. Put all my already publushed blog posts into draft folder.
2. Schedule all these posts to randomly post in the future at randomly selected intervals. eg. to make a post every every 3, 5, 4, days consecutively, or maybe only every 3 days.

Thanks.

    I don't know of any plugins, for this. Sorry. But you need to remember that if it is already published you would have to trash the post, and then wait for the caches to clear, or it will show as duplicate content. You could to it by sets of 10. Take the post down, and then set up to repost them.

    I know that this is time comsuming, but it may work better in the long run, for your ranking.

    Hi

    Can you say why you want to do this?

    It seems to me you would be undermining your SEO work.

    If the pages are already published, Google may have them already indexed. Google also seems to view sites launched with a lot of content over those that start with little content and drip their posts.

    Wouldn't it be better to spend your efforts building backlinks to the existing posts rather than reposting them?

    Although you haven't said why you want to do this- maybe it has nothing to do with SEO.
