Hi, Friends.
I was trying to randomize the date of my wordpress posts that i imported from my other websites. I was curious that there will be a plugin to do this job quickly. And YES! i found one plugin that can may be do my job.
I installed that plugin and tired with it. They developed it nicely but not for the Bigger Numbers Of The Posts In List.
the plugin and site stopped working when i try to do such big operations, let’s say 1M rows.
Then i tried with PHPMYADMIN in the server and that’s done the job very smoothly.
Here is the query that i used to randomize the post.
UPDATE wt_posts SET post_date= FROM_UNIXTIME( UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2018-04-30 14:53:27') + FLOOR(0 + (RAND() * 63072000)) ) WHERE 1;
I started from the Year 2018 You can set any year you want to start with.
I hope it may useful for you if you need to randomize the posts dates in batch.
Thanks.
