Random dates: add specific time?

Hi @fsdfbsidfgbsid

When setting the post dates randomly between certain times, is it possible to specify a specific time of the day?

Not within our UI, but you could do it with a custom PHP function: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/advanced/execute-php/. Here’s an example function:

function my_get_random_date( $start, $end, $time ) {
	$start = strtotime( $start );
	$end = strtotime( $end );
	$random_date = mt_rand( $start, $end );
	$final_date = date( "Y-m-d", $random_date ) . " " . $time;
	return $final_date;
}

Example usage:

[my_get_random_date("2019-07-01","2019-07-12","12:00:00")]

This would be used in the “As specified” field: https://d.pr/i/8Ndq4q.

Keep in mind that there’s no error checking in the example, so you have to use proper date/time formats or modify the code.
