Step 14. Consider Including an “Editor’s Note” at the Top of the Post
While there’s no rule that says you have to let readers know your post has been updated and republished, it’s usually good practice to make it clear that you’ve changed the content.

Most bloggers do this with a short editor’s note at the top of the post. That could be something very simple, like this:

This post was originally published in (month, year) and was updated and republished in (month, year).

By including a note at the start of the post, you clear up any possible algeria phone number library —e.g. if there are comments from years ago already on the post, or if readers vaguely remember seeing that post before.

How to Republish Your Updated Post in WordPress
Let’s get tactical now. I’ll show you exactly how to go about republishing content from a more technical checklist point of view, after you’ve made content changes to your post.

There are two options here:

Option 1. Update old blog posts and leave them in their current position in your blog’s archives. This usually makes sense if you’re just making some small updates and tweaks, such as fixing broken links, improving the meta description, or adding more internal links.

Option 2. Update old blog posts and republish them as current posts, by changing the publish date. This is the best option if you’re making significant edits and you want to bring that post back to the “front” of your blog, so that new readers and subscribers see it instantly.

Option 1 is very straightforward. Simply edit your post and click the Update button. All your changes will be made live right away.

Option 2 is almost as easy, but involves the extra step of changing the date on your post.

Here’s how to update your blog post’s publish date:

Step 1. Login to your WordPress admin area and edit the post that you want to republish.
