By default, WordPress displays your posts in the same order that you published them (in reverse chronological order).

And that's OK ... Displaying your most recent posts on your homepage is definitely a good idea ...

But, there's a small "problem" ... As your site grows, you'll have to limit the number of displayed posts, otherwise you'll end up with an endless homepage ... Which means that your older posts won't appear on your homepage anymore ...

Yes, of course, you can use pagination buttons or the traditional "Older posts" link, but let's face it, usually, your visitors are not ready to browse dozens of pages in order to find older content pieces.

In other words, you'll have to find a way to efficiently revive your older posts ...

The most common method is to change the date on several posts in order to "push" them back to your homepage. However, continuosly changing the date on dozens or hundreds of older posts could be very annoying ...

But of course, there is a solution ... In fact, there are two different ways that can help you to efficiently revive your old content.

The first method will allow you to quickly reorder your posts and custom post types right from the Wordpress admin panel. I've already published a tutorial on this topic ... In case that you haven't seen it yet, here it is again:

The second method focuses on social media ... Social networks are an important and efficient source of traffic, and there are many "tricks" that can help you to generate new, continuous traffic streams to your website. For example, you can leverage social media to efficiently revive your older content pieces ... So, I've decided to create a short tutorial where I will show you how easy is to revive your older posts by automatically sharing them on various social media networks.
