    Hello,

    Hi, some of my writers often updated their old posts and sometimes change the publishing date as well. This action brings the articles to the top list which in theory will be counted by Post Pay Counter PRO.

    So, before installing the plugin to the site, I want to confirm if PPC can tell the difference between republished old posts and new posts. I don’t want to double spend on articles that have been paid months ago.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi Christian,
    posts that are marked as paid with PPC PRO will not be re-paid for the same criteria twice.
    For example, suppose a post in January has 200 words. You mark it as paid, so that its due payment becomes 0. The author updates it in February, so that it has 250 words. The new due payment will only account for the new 50 words.

    Does this answer? ๐Ÿ™‚
    A nice day,
    Stefano

    Well, that’s a fantastic explanation!

    But I still have another question:

    Suppose there is one article published in January and the author has been paid. Then, he republished the article, changing the publishing date from January to February but the content remains the same.

    What would happen then? Will the article be counted in February?

    I just don’t want the author abusing this mechanism. So I have to be sure.

    Looking forward to your reply ^^

    Cheers,
    Chris

    As long as the post ID does not change (which does not, if the publishing date is updated), all the payment information still holds. Even if it shows up in the new month, its Due Payment will still account for what has already been paid for ๐Ÿ™‚

    That’s some good news. It is assured me a lot.

    Thank you for the answer ๐Ÿ™‚
