 * Hi,
 * I’ve just set up the plugin to connect with Facebook with the schedule being 
   set in Buffer to send posts at 4:59PM
   Can you confirm that the only posts that
   will be sent to Buffer are those have been created or updated after the time 
   that the schedule has been set up until 4:59PM and that the older posts will 
   not be sent? There are many existing ‘legacy’ posts so we want to ensure that
   this are not sent in the next batch.
 * Thanks,
   canu

 * If you have configured the Plugin to send WordPress Posts to Buffer when WordPress
   Posts are **published**, that will happen (that is, WP to Buffer > Settings >
   Posts > Defaults > **Publish** > Enabled).
 * If you have configured the Plugin to send WordPress Posts to Buffer when existing
   WordPress Posts are **updated**, that will happen (that is, WP to Buffer > Settings
   > Posts > Defaults > **Update** > Enabled).
 * It has nothing to do with the schedule you’ve set in Buffer.

 * Thanks for your quick response [@wpzinc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpzinc/).
 * Just to clarify, would **all** published Posts be sent to Buffer (including existing
   published Posts) or just those published after the plugin has been installed,
   activated and configured?
 * Thanks again.
