Top row random post thumbnails

  • Hi,

    I’m running a blog with a lot of images and I would like to create a “top row” system which display a list, side to side of X random thumbnails which are picked on random posts (each post have its own thumbnail).

    When clicking on the thumbnail, the corresponding post is loaded.

    In fact, something similar to https://www.zbrushcentral.com (on the top, but it’s not random).

    I looked at the existing random post plugins, but none of them seems to do what I’m looking for, even with some tweaking.

    I’m not really a coder, then if you have some ideas or where I can look at ?? A php code is ok as I will insert it in the template directly.

    Thanks!

    I’m replying for others if you are looking for this solution as I found something related to that (It seems that I didn’t search enough…)

    Then this is my “updated” code:

    <?php global $post;
$rand_posts = get_posts('numberposts=6&orderby=rand');
foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) : ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink($page->ID) ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'thumbnail'); ?></a>

<?php endforeach; ?>

    Now, I have to update some of my post thumbnails and find a way to add a default thumbnail when the post don’t have image or exclude the posts which doesn’t have thumbnails.
