Description

Random Post Date is a simple plugin that bulk changes the dates of all published posts to any random date in the past or future. It comes with a simple (but powerful) “Random Post Date” setting where you can set the time range for the post randomization and the post type (it auto-detects all post types existing on your website).
It supports all time ranges from past or future. Post with dates in the future will be sheduled.
It also supports post exclusion if you want to exclude some posts from the randomization.

Key Features:

  • Add random dates to all your published posts, pages, custom post types, and products.
  • Option to set the time range for post-randomization
  • It can be used to schedule all your published posts if you set up dates that are in the future.
  • It can exclude some posts using the post ID

Supported WordPress version

It is compatible from 3.8 to 6.7 WordPress version.

Note

The date changes are not revertable. Please backup your website before you use it.

Installation

  • Download the plugin
  • Upload the folder “random-post-date” to wp-content/plugins (or upload a zip through the WordPress admin)
  • Activate and enjoy!

Reviews

This is a great plugin that I have used for years.

As the title states, I have used this plugin for a very long time. I highly reocomend it. One thing that would be nice is the ability to randomize the dates but keep the current order of posts. However, as-is has been a valuable resource for many of my WordPress sites.

Simple and gets the job done.

The plugin is simple to use and randomizes the post dates based on my selection. The exclusion functionality was also useful.
