    This plugin has gone totally schizo. It used to work great, especially in the prior version called Tweet Old Post. I had it set to tweet once every 8 hours, only to find it pushes out 2 to 15 tweets at once! I tried resetting the plugin settings, deactivating and reactivating, deactivating, uninstalling and reinstalling — nothing works to stop the out-of-control behavior. Even the selecting “Stop Sharing” button in plugin doesn’t work. Tried that, it reports it’s not sharing, but the Twitter feed continues with multiple tweets (2-15) at the exact same time. The only way to stop the uncontrolled posts was to deactivate the app altogether. The cause might be a conflict with WordPress or another plugin. Not worth the effort to troubleshoot. Looking for a replacement.

    Note the first item in the FAQ:

    Plugin doesn’t post at the regular interval or sends more posts than it should send to social networks.

    Unfortunately wp_cron function isn’t perfect, it trigger just when somebody visit your site, so you nobody visit your site in 3 hours, ROP won’t trigger. In order to achieve this you need to enable Remote Check and add this line to your wp-config.php right after the lines with database credentials:
    define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true);

    Tried that suggestion. Not only did it not fix the CRON problem, it turned off all WordPress scheduling so ALL scheduled posts fail to publish at their scheduled time. Look at the instruction: “DISABLE_WP_CRON” i.e. disable the CRON, essentially this turns off the alarm clock, duh! And it did just that on the site.

    It was also suggested to roll back to a prior version of the plugin. Guess I will try that. Maybe the original Tweet Old Post still work. This plugin doesn’t.
