Exactly what I needed
by 3ftomi·2 years ago

Hassle free easy method to set the date of many or all (custom) posts at same time.

Thank you so much! You saved a lot of time to me! God bless you making this available free of charge!

nice but small issue
by hkpresent·5 years ago

very nice plugin
but the plugin doesnt work when editing more than 50 posts
it will break

any method and fix for this?

Very Simple and works well
by ABCDiamond·5 years ago

I have a number of posts that update every day from tables, but I also had to edit each one, just to update the date every day.

This little plugin lets me select those posts, and update the post date for them nice and easily. A real time saver.

One little issue. I have to set the new time for the post about 12 hours earlier than my time zone, otherwise it schedules the post somehow.

But other than that, it’s perfect.

Works like a charm!

Thank you, this plugin works perfectly. Just what I needed.

Works As Advertised – A Huge Timesaver
by partyparty·6 years ago

This type of functionality should be inherent in WordPress. But of course it’s not. The plugin has saved hours and hours of my day. Thank you.
