Biggest opportunity: Swap “date” and “media” for “change” and “bulk”. “date” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “change” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “media” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “bulk” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →9.6%
of downloads still active
At least 6K of 62.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,319 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Very easy and simple plugin which solves the case of “bulk changing” the date and time, even for media items. It is very useful if you install a customer website from a template and you dont want the customer to see the date 1-2 years before. I am missing the following features: increasing the seconds/minutes one by one, that they will stay in the same order. changing only a few selected values of the date, like “year” and “month” to keep the day and daytime random as it was… Thank you in advance if it will be improved in the future – i will use this plugin often now 🙂

GOOD PLUGIN but no random function to select dates
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ carlosvai3.2y ago
I can not thank you enough, I’ve been searching for the last couple of years for something to do exactly this. In my site I have a publications grid (ordered by date) and I’m constantly changing them to alter the order. It is very time-consuming, and I still can not believe WP does not have a built-in feature to do it in bulk. So this plug in is a real saver! Thanks a lot, and hopefully this plugin will receive many more reviews and downloads!
