Our approach

WPRiders approached the Revive Old Posts project with a focus on both short-term fixes and long-term improvements:

QA Testing and Bug Fixing – We began by identifying and fixing existing bugs to prevent inconsistent posting behavior across connected social networks. Regular QA testing was a key component of this process to ensure stability.

Performance Enhancements – We made various improvements to the plugin’s user interface and error-handling mechanisms to create a smoother and more intuitive user experience.

Twitter Authentication – A major new feature was the seamless integration of Twitter authentication, allowing users to connect their accounts effortlessly.

Custom Cron Service – We developed a custom cron service to improve the reliability of the plugin’s scheduling functionality, ensuring that social media posts were consistently published as scheduled.

Towards SaaS – The development of the custom cron service was a step towards transforming the plugin into a more SaaS-like offering, with enhanced reliability and feature sets.

User Retention and Conversion – The goal was to increase user retention and conversion rates by providing a more robust and feature-rich plugin that appeals to both free and PRO users.

These improvements have led to increased user satisfaction, higher ratings, and better conversion rates from free to PRO users.

As the plugin continues to evolve, WPRiders remains committed to its long-term success, positioning Revive Old Posts as a top choice for social media automation in the WordPress ecosystem.
