Random Post Date

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 · 100% 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.

   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. This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by moongear.

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