Re-sharing previously published posts with Jetpack Social

Revive the posts that resonated the most with your audience by re-sharing them with your audience on your selected social platforms. Recycle your evergreen content by automatically re-sharing your previously published posts.

To re-share a post using Jetpack Social, the user performing the share must be connected to a WordPress.com account. This is required even if a shared social connection is already set up on the site. If the user is not connected, the share attempt may fail.

You can connect your account by going to Jetpack → My Jetpack and clicking Connect under the Connection section.

Re-sharing posts with the Block Editor

To use Jetpack Social’s to re-share one of your already published posts, follow these steps:

  1. From WP Admin, navigate to Posts → All Posts.
  2. Open the published post that you’d like to re-share.
  3. Bring up the Jetpack menu by clicking the Jetpack in the top right corner.
  4. Make any changes or updates to your post’s text and image.
  5. When you’re ready to share, find the Share to Social Media section and enable the social accounts where you want to re-share your post. They will all be disabled by default.
  6. Scroll down and click the Share post button.

Once your post has been shared, you’ll be notified in the right sidebar. Click View sharing history to see the status of your re-share as well as data about previous shares.

Re-sharing posts with the Classic Editor

Re-sharing previously published posts from sites using the Classic Editor is available for self-hosted sites only. Sites hosted at WordPress.com must use the Block Editor to auto-share past posts.

See Using Blocks and the Classic Editor for instructions on moving from the Classic Editor to the Block Editor.
