Post Date Randomizer

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 69% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

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

   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.

   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!

   Thanks for this handy plugin. We imported 1500 post titles with automated content. This plugin did a nice job of randomizing all the posts. We can then use a reposter plugin to keep the posts fresh and posted to social media. Nice job!
