Making it Update

Hi @cogdog! Thanks for the kind note and the blog post. I love how you added the icon ::after the link, I think we’ll add that to the plugin in the next release!

I am not clear on the Update capability. Where/how can I see what of my posts/pages have been archived?

We don’t currently have this in the main plugin, but we do have a companion plugin we use for testing that includes this feature. I’d be happy to email it to you if you’d like (I’d prefer not to share it widely, as it is not polished.)

Another place you can see which of your posts and pages are archived is https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://cogdogblog.com* Click on the URLs tab.

I have a few very old sites I am thinking of de-commissioning but want to make sure they are fully present in the Internet Archive. I set up the plugin to not link check but archive only. Is archiving triggered only if I update an old post? Do I have to batch update them to make sure they are archived?

There are two options in the Advanced Settings under Auto Archiver:

Auto Archive Posts archives them when published or updated.

Routinely Archive automatically archives them every 28 days (configurable below in the Routine Interval section.)

As long as the Routinely Archive is enabled and the allowed post types are selected, your posts will be archived.

The “Routinely Archive” setting will archive your site’s posts automatically behind the scenes once a month, no updates needed.
