Post Date Randomizer
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.
