Random Content

Beschreibung

This plugin allows you to display random content anywhere on your site using a shortcode or widget. You can group your random content together, allowing you to display different content in multiple locations throughout your site.

The content is added via a custom post type, so you have full access to the tinyMCE editor. This allows you to easily add images, text, and links to your random content.

Using a widget

  1. Navigate to Appearance->Widgets and add the Random Content widget to a sidebar.
  2. Select a group from the dropdown. If you don’t create a group, the widget will use all entries.

Using a shortcode

Place the shortcode [random_content] anywhere on a post or page.

To choose entries from a specific group, add the group_id parameter. For example, [random_content group_id="64"].

To specify the number of posts to show, add the num_posts parameter. For example, [random_content group_id="13" num_posts="3"].

Screenshots

Installation

  1. Upload random-content.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ menu in WordPress
  3. Create an entry in the Random Content post type.
  4. Categorize your content using Groups.

Only content within the content editor will be displayed.

FAQ

Can I group certain entries together?

Yes. Create a group, and assign specific entries to the group. It works just like categories.

How do I find the group id?

Click on Random Content > Group in the WordPress admin. Look for the number in the ID column.

How do I display more than one post?

In the shortcode, use the num_posts parameter. In the widget, enter a number in the „Number of Posts to Show at Once“ input.

I’m using it to display ads for one of my website’s store, on one of my related blogs. It proved to be perfect for dropping in the sidebar, wrapping in some HTML & CSS, then having very simple link and image tag in the custom post. Perfect and thanks!

It does exactly what it says. I haven’t encountered any bugs at the moment in WordPress 5.8.1. But please update this great plugin. We are concerned about version incompatible plugins. Thanks.
