Thanks. Any idea on how to keep the old post slug? Btw, the plugin that performs the closest to what I need, is this one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/automatic-post-date-filler/ Only, it doesn't work on a post-by-post basis.

Thanks, but same problem: setting a future date/time will change the status of the post from Published to Scheduled (doesn't meet my #3 condition, above). I need it to stay Published.

No, I want a specific post to jump to the front of the loop without needing to get up in the middle of the night to modify the publish date/time. Creating a new post accomplishes that, but is not a good solution as it creates more problems down the road (duplicate content, new URL, old post...

Unfortunately, this doesn't meet my most important criteria: future-dating an already published post will change the status from Published to Scheduled. I need the post to stay Published with the original date/time until the future date/time, when I need the post to jump to the front of the loop.

I'm looking for a way to pre-set new custom publish dates on already published blog posts. In other words, this is what I want to do: 1. Select a live blog post. 2. Modify the publish date to a specific date/time in the future. 3. The post remains Published with the original publish date until...

Cool, thanks all! :)

Thanks, @Gogol good link. (I know I need a lawyer for this and I don't expect legal advice, obviously. But, I also know that there are people who are/were in a similar situation and are willing to share their experience.)

That's exactly what I am considering to do. What are the risks of them filing, first?

Thanks for your reply @waterworks! It's not a big company, just a small retail shop. When they approached me about buying the domain from me, I asked for a reasonable sum (several thousands of dollars), but they didn't follow up... not even attempted to negotiate. So, I am guessing, they don't...

Thanks, @bartosimpsonio! I know that I need to ask a lawyer, but there must be legal precedences and/or people who dealt with similar situations... The other business is in FL, US. I'm in Europe. Nobody registered any trademark (them nor me). Yes, the domain predates the store brand. They...

For what it's worth, does anybody have relevant expertise/experience to share? Here're the facts: I've owned "domain.com" for 10+ years. I used the domain on/off. About 8 years ago, another business opened with the same name as "domain". They are a brick-n-mortar retail shop in the apparel...

Do you also feel like responding to the question in the OP? Or, are you satisfied with posting generic stuff that doesn't add anything to the discussion?

Which post on BHW applies to my question? You (should) know all the relevant context from my original post. If you cannot answer my question, please don't clutter the thread. This issue must have been tested hundreds of times. I would rather have somebody tell me what their result was from a...

The "basic and one of the first step of SEO" is to define a suitable URL structure BEFORE you have published any content. It is NOT readily recommended when you have thousands of indexed (and ranking) pages. In other words: SEO Rule #1: Don't change already ranking URL. SEO Rule #2: There is...

Neil Patel recently changed his URL structure from /yyyy/mm/dd/post-name to /blog/post-name. He also claimed that this change was responsible for 40% growth in his organic traffic. I get that by removing the date, the post would appear more "evergreen" and likely attract higher CTR in the...

I never had issues with their support, and I'm still using just their free version! First, they have a good knowledgebase (kb.yoast.com I think). Second, they still do answer support questions on Wordpress support forums (despite having a pinned thread there that discourages users from posting...

Footer links are not the strongest, but work. Obviously, you should try to look like you're not scamming Google. Here's an interesting case study that shows the power of footer links: http://www.viperchill.com/google-control/

Start by writing a high-quality in-depth post for your blog. Then, spend the rest of your time learning new things.

There is no magic number to hit. First, each search query is different, because the competition is different. Second, there is a difference between (1) a site-wide link from a footer/sidebar and (2) many in-content links from the same domain (the latter is, obviously, much more powerful). Third...

Are you asking if you need nofollow links to rank? No, you don't.
