Frequently asked questions.
Does “Mark as reviewed” modify my post modified date?
No. Marking an item as reviewed updates a private meta timestamp ( _ocap_last_reviewed ). It does not modify post_modified_gmt , ensuring sitemaps and search engine update signals remain clean.
How does the email digest schedule work?
Digests are scheduled via WordPress WP-Cron for your preferred day, time, and recurrence (weekly, monthly, or quarterly). For low-traffic sites, configuring a system-level cron job is recommended.
