💡 Result:

The MainWP Randomizer is a feature included within the MainWP Post Plus extension [1][2]. It appears as a meta box on your MainWP Dashboard when you are creating or editing posts and pages [1][2]. The purpose of the MainWP Randomizer is to allow you to randomize specific metadata for content published across your child sites [1][2]. This functionality helps create the appearance of multiple active bloggers or a more dynamic content strategy by automatically varying the following attributes [1][2]: Authors: You can select specific user roles from your child sites, and the extension will randomly assign an existing user with that role to the post [1][3]. Categories: The extension can automatically assign a random category from the existing categories on the target child site [1]. Publishing Dates: You can opt to randomize the publishing date [1][4]. If you specify a date range, the extension will select a random date from within that period; if left blank, it will select a completely random date [1][4]. To use these features, you simply enable the desired randomization options within the MainWP Randomizer meta box on the Post Plus post/page creation screen [1][3][4]. There are no limits to the number of authors, categories, or dates that can be randomized [2].

Citations:

Keep the UI label as MainWP Randomizer Lines 47 and 227 rename this control to Post Plus Randomizer / Post Plus section, but the product and docs still refer to the meta box as MainWP Randomizer. If the UI label hasn’t changed, align the copy with the in-product wording.

In `@add-ons/posts-pages/post-plus-extension.mdx` around lines 47 - 50, The docs
copy for the meta box name is inconsistent with the in-product UI label. Update
the “Post Plus Randomizer” / “Post Plus section” wording in the relevant
markdown content to match the existing label used by the Post Plus feature, and
keep the terminology consistent wherever the meta box is referenced in this
page.
