function rpl_change_ptype( $args ) {
  $args['post_type'] = 'your_post_type_goes_here';

  return $args;
}
add_filter( 'random_post_args', 'rpl_change_ptype' );

The code above works great but will this plugin only work with one type of post at a time? Is it possible to generate a link for custom post types AND normal blog posts?

Hi,
How do I get the ?Random to use my actual permalink instead of using the post_id? I am using custom post type.

Hi and thanks for a great plugin. I use it in my 404 sheet.

I would like it too look cleaner and underline the link so it’s more visible that it is indeed a link. Here is my actual code:

<h1 class=”entry-title _cf”><?php _e(‘Bummer,’, LANGUAGE_ZONE); ?></h1>
<h3><?php _e( ‘Error 666 – Same player shoot again : ‘, LANGUAGE_ZONE);random_post_link(‘Click here for a random post’); ?></h3>

Any idea? tried to use <u> etc without success. Thanks ??

I’ve made a widget, but the random-post link is not showing.
I’ve tried to paste the code in a post, but there nothing it showing either.
It’s here on the side, under “een lapje dat je nog nooit..”

Hi,

thanks for the excellent plugin, it just does what it is supposed to do. ??

I am just looking at the source code and try to extend the plugin so I can limit the random post to a dynamically set category. I saw

function rpl_change_ptype( $args ) {
  $args['category_name'] = 'your_category_name_goes_here';

  return $args;
}
add_filter( 'random_post_args', 'rpl_change_ptype' );

What i want is to set the category dynamically within my template. Basically I want to call random post link with a category slug
<?php random_post_link('Feeling lucky','your_category_name_goes_here'); ?>
Should be not difficult to do I assume but I am new to wordpress development …

Thanks buddies

This is a great plugin but how do I display a random post when ever an image is clicked. I want to add this random post image below each post and when user clicks it, I want it to lead to a random post.

I want to remove specific category posts to display when user click on random post. Example: I have 20 category’s in my blog like android, games, windows. I want this plugin don’t redirect visitors to posts in games category.

Thanks waiting for solution and this plugin is really light and good ??

I noticed that the cookie this plugin sets in Chrome is set to expire at the end of the browser session (haven’t checked other browsers but I’ll assume it’s universal). I have close to 500 posts in a photo-blog, and few people are going to go through all of those in a single session! I’d like to set the cookie to either not expire or at least keep track of what they’ve seen a little longer – so they can continue their exploration during multiple sessions…

Looking at the plug-in’s code, I don’t see where it sets an expiration for the cookie – but I don’t have much experience with cookie-code…

Anyone know how to do this?

In Firefox, the random post link works for the first post, but then it keeps bringing up the same article, whether you are on any page of the website.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Is it possible to add the google code for event tracking
typically you just add something like this into the <a href="url.com">

onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', '', '',,, false]);"

I tried doing that in random-post-link.php but got a syntax error

any suggestions?

thanks.

Is there a way to limit the posts that are randomized to a category, I.e. “go to a random training” or “go to a random tip” if I have tips and training as categories?

Thanks!

I’d like the link to work on my custom post types, ‘portfolio’ items.

Any idea how to change the code?

Much thanks!

This is a test.

I’ve just moved my WordPress installation from one server to another. The only issue I ran into was with the Random Post Link plugin. It caused an error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’, expecting ‘(‘ in /homepages/24/d365282849/htdocs/xxxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/random-post-link/random-post-link.php on line 32

I love the plugin, so much better than the random redirect plugin in my opinion, so I’d really like to keep using it.

Thanks!

Im playing around with a little quiz which will have an automatic redirect (using javascript) after a good answer. Is there a way I can get the random url instead of the link to it?
