What it does
Publishing posts across many client sites from one dashboard is efficient, but it can leave every post looking the same: one author, one category, one timestamp. This extension adds a randomizer to the post creation screen in MainWP so each post can carry varied metadata. You can choose specific authors, categories or publish dates, or let the extension assign random values, which gives content on your managed sites a more natural spread of contributors and dates.
The MainWP Randomizer Meta Box controls how this works. In it you pick which user roles are eligible to be assigned as authors and which date range publish dates should fall within, so you keep randomization limited to the accounts and timeframes you want. Alongside that, the extension saves drafts automatically while you write posts and pages, and it offers a preview so you can check content before publishing. It requires MainWP and runs inside your MainWP Dashboard.
Best for
- Agencies publishing content to many client sites
- Web developers who manage sites through MainWP
- Site owners running several blogs from one dashboard
Features
Random author assignment
Assign posts to varied authors on your child sites instead of a single account, giving published content a spread of contributors.
Random categories
Let the extension place posts into different categories, or choose specific categories yourself, so content is distributed across sections of each site.
Randomized publish dates
Give posts varied publishing dates within a range you define, rather than stamping every post with the same time.
Randomizer meta box
A meta box on the post screen where you select which user roles and date ranges are included in the randomization.
Automatic draft saving
Drafts are saved automatically as you create posts and pages, which protects your work from unexpected errors or interruptions.
Content preview
Preview posts and pages before they go live so you can review formatting and wording and make corrections first.
Fixed or random values
For each post, decide whether authors, categories and dates are set to specific values or assigned at random.

Questions about MainWP Post Plus
Do I need MainWP to use this?
Yes. MainWP Post Plus is an extension for MainWP and works from inside your MainWP Dashboard. It adds its randomization, draft saving and preview tools to the posting workflow you already use there to manage your child sites.
Can I limit which users get picked as random authors?
Yes. The MainWP Randomizer Meta Box lets you choose which user roles are included in the randomization. That way only accounts with the roles you select can be assigned as authors, and other users stay out of it.
Can I control the range of random publish dates?
You can. The randomizer meta box lets you set a date range, and randomized publish dates fall within it. You can also skip randomization and pick a specific publish date for a post.
Will I lose my work if something goes wrong while writing?
The extension saves drafts automatically as you create posts and pages, so an unexpected error or disruption is less likely to cost you what you have written. You can also preview content before publishing it.
