Like any other posts, Staff select posts for featuring on the freshly pressed posts page, they get a day in the sunshine, and the next day other posts are selected and appear above them.

To be clear there is no expiry date.

I just checked and saw exactly what you mean. I have no idea why that old post is appearing on the top and I tagged this thread for a Staff explanation.

Hi there,

In general, our team selects recent posts for Freshly Pressed. However, older posts may also be selected when they have excellent, timeless content or if the older content is newly relevant. The date on the post is when it was published, but it was just selected recently for Freshly Pressed. :)
