Сүрөттөө

Post Date Randomizer allows you to bulk change the publication dates of your content to random dates within a specific time range you define. You can choose to randomize dates for published posts, pages, products, custom post, approved comments, or both.

It comes with a simple but powerful settings page (“Date Randomizer” in the admin menu) where you can:

  • Select whether to randomize posts, comments, or both.
  • Set the start and end dates for the randomization range (past or future).
  • For posts, choose the specific post type to affect (auto-detects public post types like posts, pages, products, etc.).
  • For posts, optionally set the “Last Modified” date to match the new random “Published” date.

It supports any date range. Posts with dates randomized to the future will be automatically scheduled for publication. Comment dates are simply updated to the random date within the selected range.

Important: This plugin performs irreversible changes to your post and comment dates. Always back up your database before use! If you find this plugin useful, please consider making a donation to support its development.

Key Features:

  • Bulk randomize dates for published posts (of a selected post type) and/or approved comments.
  • Choose to randomize only posts, only comments, or both simultaneously.
  • Set a specific date and time range (past or future) for the randomized dates.
  • Automatically schedules posts if their new random date is in the future.
  • Optionally update the post “Last Modified” date to match the new “Published” date.
  • Auto-detects all public post types for selection.
  • Simple settings interface integrated into the WordPress dashboard.
  • Includes donation links to support the plugin author.

Compatibility

Recommended for WordPress 5.0 and higher. Tested up to WordPress 6.7.

Warning

Hello,… it is a good idea to randomize the post date by features like ” Post tags ” o ” post category ” . Regards,

awesome time saver

Usually I do not take the time to review a plugin unless there is a fatal problem or the plugin is exceptional. I use this plugin on every new site I create and it is a real time saver. I contacted support for a minor problem and the reply was fast and helpful. If you have any use for randomizing posts then I recommend this plugin.

Best plugin for generate random dates.

Best plugin for generate random dates. Works perfectly. Thank you!

Amazing But Lacking

uzol Август 27, 2021-ж. 1 reply
I understand that this project isnt maintained often. But for what it is, i give it 5 stars. If the author sees this; it seems to crash WP when I try to randomize lets say 5000 posts. Additionally it would be great if we could only randomize posts that were newly added or posts from a specific category. Overall an amazing randomizer!
