Revive Social

What Revive Social does

Revive Social is a WordPress plugin that automatically shares published posts to social media accounts on a recurring schedule. Its settings reference describes the product as formerly Tweet Old Post and organizes controls into a dashboard with tabs for Accounts, General Settings, Post Format, Custom Schedule, Sharing Queue, and Sharing Logs, plus a separate Exclude Posts page (Revive Social settings reference). That places it in the publishing and scheduling layer of a WordPress workflow: an article is published on the site, and the plugin can distribute it again later without requiring each share to be composed by hand.

The vendor hosts a product page at revive.social and setup documentation at docs.revive.social (Revive Social product page; Revive Social getting-started documentation). The WordPress.org listing identifies the author as rsocial, records a first publication date of December 7, 2009, and shows a last modification date of October 14, 2026 (WordPress.org plugin listing). The last-modified date supports the existence of a maintained listing at the time of retrieval; it does not by itself confirm that every social integration still works.

Who it fits

Revive Social is most relevant to people whose publishing hub is WordPress and whose main social need is to keep existing posts circulating. Bloggers, creators, and solo site owners can use the Custom Schedule, Sharing Queue, and Exclude Posts controls to decide which articles are eligible for re-sharing and when the shares run (settings reference). The vendor’s own positioning is similar: automate distribution of WordPress posts to maintain a social presence and bring visitors back to the site (product page).

A freelancer who maintains WordPress sites may also find the recurring-share model useful, but the supplied documentation does not describe client workspaces, approval chains, or a shared team calendar. For a solo publisher or a small content operation with a straightforward WordPress-to-social routine, that may be sufficient. For a team that needs review and sign-off before a post goes out, the documented feature set is not evidence of a collaboration product.

The tool is also a narrower fit than a general social media management suite. It is built around WordPress posts and connected social accounts, so someone who needs an inbox, social listening, employee advocacy, or a multi-client publishing dashboard should verify those needs separately rather than assuming they are included.

Features and platform support

Automatic sharing, scheduling, and queue controls

The core workflow is recurring distribution. The settings reference lists a Custom Schedule area and a Sharing Queue, and the vendor describes recurring posts or specific days and times for each social network (product page). A separate Exclude Posts page lets a site owner keep individual posts out of the sharing flow (settings reference). These controls matter for an evergreen-content strategy: older posts can be re-surfaced on purpose, while time-sensitive or unsuitable posts can be excluded.

Post formatting is handled per network according to the vendor. The feature page says users can customize titles, add hashtags and calls to action, and optimize link previews, with hashtag suggestions drawn from post categories, tags, and custom fields (product page). Those are vendor feature descriptions rather than independent test results; the practical value depends on how much per-network tailoring the site owner wants to do. The vendor’s feature page also mentions Zapier as a way to manage more networks beyond the built-in connections.

For measurement, the vendor describes click tracking through URL shorteners and Google Analytics campaign tracking, plus a Sharing Logs tab in the settings dashboard (product page; settings reference). The supplied documentation does not establish a native cross-network analytics dashboard beyond those logs and click-tracking integrations. A reader who needs engagement metrics, audience growth reporting, or competitor analysis should treat those as separate requirements to confirm.

Account and network support

The free version supports connecting one Facebook account and one X account, while Pro unlocks additional networks (settings reference). Two Facebook restrictions are explicit in the documentation: Revive Social shares to a Facebook Page rather than a personal profile, and Facebook Groups are not supported following Meta’s April 22, 2024 change that removed third-party app access inside groups (getting-started documentation). Those are material eligibility checks, not minor setup details.

For other networks, the getting-started documentation directs users to Revive Social PRO for LinkedIn, Instagram, Telegram, Tumblr, Google My Business, VK, Mastodon, Bluesky, and other networks (getting-started documentation). The settings reference also lists LinkedIn, Tumblr, VK, Webhook, Mastodon, and Bluesky among Pro additions (settings reference). The supplied text does not specify whether LinkedIn means a personal profile, a company page, or both, nor which Instagram account types or post formats are accepted. Those points remain unconfirmed.

Pricing structure and practical cost

The supplied evidence establishes a free tier and a Pro tier, but not a price. The settings reference says the free version supports one Facebook account and one X account; Pro unlocks additional networks (settings reference). The getting-started documentation also routes LinkedIn, Instagram, Telegram, Tumblr, Google My Business, VK, Mastodon, Bluesky, and other networks to Pro (getting-started documentation).

No supplied source states a currency, monthly or annual billing period, seat count, number of Pro-connected accounts, or add-on pricing. A total-cost comparison would therefore need a current vendor quote or pricing page; the supplied material does not support one. The practical budget question is not only free versus Pro, but which networks are required, whether the free tier’s one Facebook Page and one X account are enough, and whether the site owner needs more connected accounts than the documentation spells out.

Because the price is unknown, an illustrative budget with invented figures would be misleading. The safer next step is to confirm current Pro pricing and any account limits directly with the vendor before comparing it with another scheduling plugin.

Strengths, limitations, and trade-offs

The clearest strength is fit with a WordPress publishing routine. Revive Social is designed to take posts that already exist and schedule them again, which is useful for evergreen tutorials, reference articles, and archive content that would otherwise receive only one social push. The Exclude Posts control, Sharing Queue, per-network scheduling, post-format settings, hashtag generation, and click-tracking integrations give a site owner more control than a simple one-time auto-post rule (settings reference; product page).

The limits are equally concrete. The free version is capped at one Facebook account and one X account, and the Facebook account must be a Page; personal profiles and Groups are not supported (settings reference; getting-started documentation). LinkedIn, Instagram, and several other networks are Pro features in the supplied documentation, so the free tier is not a complete multi-network option for many readers.

There are also evidence gaps that affect the purchase decision. The sources do not specify LinkedIn or Instagram account types, do not give Pro’s price or connected-account ceiling, and do not document team approval workflows, role permissions, or a shared content calendar. Reporting is described through logs and click-tracking integrations rather than a native analytics suite. None of these gaps proves a feature is absent, but each is a reason to confirm requirements before committing.

As a trade-off, Revive Social looks most useful as a focused WordPress auto-sharing and content-recycling tool. It is less obviously a replacement for a full social media management platform that handles engagement, approvals, and cross-network reporting. The right question is whether the site owner mainly needs scheduled re-distribution of WordPress posts or a broader team publishing system.

Evidence scope and next checks

This profile is based on the supplied Revive Social documentation, the vendor’s feature page, and the WordPress.org plugin listing. It does not report a hands-on test. The search context was retrieved on October 30, 2026, but that retrieval date is not a product test date and does not guarantee that every integration, account limit, or price is current. The WordPress.org last-modified date of October 14, 2026 is evidence of a maintained listing, not proof that each social connection works.

Before committing, check the following:

• Current Pro pricing, currency, billing period, and renewal terms; the supplied sources do not state a price.
• Whether the networks you need are included in the plan you would buy, especially LinkedIn and Instagram, and which account types and post formats they accept.
• Facebook Page eligibility. Personal profiles and Facebook Groups are not supported in the supplied documentation.
• Connected-account limits on the free and Pro plans, including whether you need more than one Facebook Page or X account.
• How click tracking is configured. The vendor describes URL shortener and Google Analytics campaign integration; a native cross-network reporting dashboard is not established by the supplied text.
• Current WordPress compatibility, plugin maintenance, and any setup requirements for your site.

A practical next step is to install the free version on a non-critical WordPress site, connect a test Facebook Page and X account, and verify the queue, formatting, exclusion, and logging behavior against your own workflow before paying for Pro.
