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. **Important:** This plugin performs irreversible changes to your post and comment dates. Always back up your database before use!

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. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a3a1c0a255f62d54602400d32f8f8405d744367ce9c6281a9752d068dee81489? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Best plugin for generate random dates.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-plugin-for-generate-random-dates/)󠁿 [MetalFlowAPI](https://profiles.wordpress.org/qeras89/) 3 avril 2022 Best plugin for generate random dates.

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!
