If your web host has WP-CLI installed, you can run the following commands at the command line:
Repost
Runs the Repost command, behaving as if WordPress’ Cron ran the Repost event.
By default, the Repost WordPress Cron Event will run daily. If you prefer to use WP-CLI, either automatically or manually, you’ll want to disable the scheduled WordPress Cron Event to prevent duplicate reposting. Refer to the Repost Settings Documentation to disable the scheduled WordPress Cron Event.

--test_mode |
Optional; if specified, Reposting will dryrun, meaning that statuses are not sent to Buffer. The results are displayed in the console and (if enabled) in the Log. |
Bulk Publish
Runs the Bulk Publish command, behaving as if the user has selected WordPress Posts through the Bulk Publish functionality.
Posts, or their Post Types, must have Bulk Publish Status(es) defined to be eligible for posting to Buffer.
This command can be used in one of two ways:
- Defining the Posts to Bulk Publish to Buffer, using Post IDs, or
