Random post on 404, seo

    I have made my 1st php code and I think its amazing lol probably not, it goes to a random post but in a much better way if you go to a 404 on my website yont.co.uk and type some jiberish after a “/” you can see.

    My problem is does any one think it will mess my seo up?

    In functions.php I replaced
    if (theme_get_option('theme_show_random_posts_on_404_page')) {
    theme_ob_start();
    echo '<h4 class="box-title">' . theme_get_option('theme_show_random_posts_title_on_404_page') . '</h4>';
    ?>

      <?php
      global $post;
      $rand_posts = get_posts('numberposts=5&orderby=rand');
      foreach ($rand_posts as $post) :
      ?>

    • "><?php the_title(); ?>

      • <?php endforeach; ?>

    <?php
    theme_post_wrapper(array('content' => theme_ob_get_clean()));
    }

    with:


    if (theme_get_option('theme_show_random_posts_on_404_page')) {
    $posts = get_posts('post_type=post&orderby=rand&numberposts=1');
    foreach($posts as $post) {
    $link = get_permalink($post);
    }
    wp_redirect($link,307);
    exit;
    }
