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 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d44ae6cc0986c3baacad53b1dcd9ffea767a24786ba744cd3b5f40476726bde0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[This is a great plugin that I have used for years.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-is-a-great-pluing-that-i-have-used-for-years/)󠁿 [moongear](https://profiles.wordpress.org/moongear/) May 9, 2025 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. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/78c1db93373a48057bee4d44cec155c67ad24febeccbf1bc7c47fc12cfc510f9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple and gets the job done.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-gets-the-job-done-18/)󠁿 [gabuzee](https://profiles.wordpress.org/gabuzee/) January 9, 2025 The plugin is simple to use and randomizes the post dates based on my selection. The exclusion functionality was also useful.
