      Set Random Metadata

      If you want to use a random Author, Category, or Publishing date for your Posts or Pages, you can do it by using the options in the MainWP Randomizer section.

       

      Set Random Metadata 1

      The Extension adds this section to both,

      • MainWP > Posts > Add New page
      • MainWP > Pages > Add New page

      Set Random Author

      If you want to assign a random author for a post,

      1. Select the Set Random Author with privilege option
      2. Select Roles.

      Set Random Metadata 2

       

      The Post Plus Extension will set random (existing) users from the selected role(s) from your child site and assign the post. As a result, the article will have a different author on each of your child sites.

      Set Random Category

      If you want to set a random category, select the Set Random Category option.

      Set Random Metadata 3

      The Extension will pick one of the existing categories from your child site and assign the post.

      Set Random Publishing Date

      To set a random publishing date,

      1. Check the Set Random Publishing Date checkbox
      2. Optionally you can set a specific Date Range

      Set Random Metadata 4

      If you set a specific date range, the Extension will pick a random date from the range. If left blank, the Extension will pick a random date. As a result, the article will have different publishing dates on each of your child sites.
