About DateSweep
DateSweep is a powerful WordPress plugin designed to solve a very specific, frustrating problem: bulk-updating post and page dates after cloning a template or migrating a site. If you have ever run into the issue where every post and page on your newly set up site still displays an outdated year like 2019, DateSweep cleans this up in one clean sweep.
Developed by front-end designer and enthusiast Jan Stevens, DateSweep allows you to bulk-update both published and modified dates across standard posts, pages, custom post types (CPTs), and comments. Instead of awkwardly uniform timestamps, the plugin lets you spread dates naturally across a custom date range. Best of all, it offers a preview feature before you apply changes, plus an undo function for peace of mind. DateSweep is available completely free on WordPress.org.
