Random post widget
-
I noticed in the new available theme i Nove, there is a random post thingy in the sidebar. Is that a widget availble for other themes?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
The answer in a technical forum always depends on the blog in question. Can we get a link to your blog, starting with http?
-
No, that is theme specific to the iNove theme, and if you add any other widgets to the sidebar, that random post widget will disappear. It is a theme-generated widget and does not appear in the “available widgets” section.
So if you want that widget, you cannot customize the sidebar with additional widgets.
-
@tsp but if you have a WP.com blog you can build a random widget yourself, I have one at http://raincoastermedia.com
That’s why I asked for the link.
-
That is true, although using the code in a text widget gives you a link to pull up a random post where iNove gives you a link and also the title of the random post. A little more polished. End result is the same though a random post.
-
In a text widget, this works to generate a random post:
Click here for random postAnd you can have an image link for it.
But I don’t know how to make a list of random posts displayed so a reader could just click on titles of random posts?

I have a wordpress.com blog. Sorry about not linking it earlier.

So, how do I build random post text widget? The link that 1tess posted leads to “Page not found”.
Thanks, everyone.

Put the following in a text widget:
<a href="http://listesting.wordpress.com/?random" title="Click here for random post">Feeling lucky??? Click here for a random post</a>You can change the “Feeling lucky??? Click here for a random post” text to what you want.

Oh so sorry, I forgot the backticks to make the code viewable. Of course it’s a 404.
sorry -
