Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records YBP Schedule Rewrite version 1.3.13 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
YBP Schedule Rewrite is a powerful WordPress utility designed to schedule full content updates for existing published posts.
Note: This plugin is designed exclusively for the Classic Editor.
Instead of replacing published content immediately or using complex staging setups, YBP Schedule Rewrite allows you to draft new titles, body content, excerpts, featured images, and SEO meta descriptions directly within the Classic Editor metabox, scheduling them to overwrite the live post at a specific date and time via WP-Cron.
Key Features
Classic Editor Exclusive: Specifically built for environments using the Classic Editor plugin.
Scheduled Post Rewriting: Set a future date and time to automatically update existing post content.
Granular Field Updates: Draft title, content, excerpt, featured image, and meta descriptions independently. Unchanged fields remain safely protected on the live post.
SEO Meta Description Sync: Automatically update meta description custom fields for third-party themes and SEO plugins.
Fallback & Copy Control: Option to automatically fall back to the excerpt when the dedicated meta description field is empty, or use the “Copy from Excerpt” button in manual mode.
Date Reset Option: Option to update the original published date ( post_date ) to the current time upon rewrite execution for resetting old post metrics.
Flexible Sorting Controls: Options to align scheduled rewrites and new scheduled posts chronologically in the admin post list, and enable modified-date sorting for front-end displays.
Automatic Modified Date Column: Automatically adds a “Last Modified” column to the admin post list when missing in the active theme.
