Display a list of random pages (without plugin, widget)

  • Hi there,
    I was trying to find this simple thing but I didn’t have any luck. So please…

    Is there a way how to display a random list of pages? I just need to specify a number of pages and the function returns a list of completely random pages (pages & subpages).

    Thanks a lot, Jakub

$args=array(
  'orderby' => 'rand',
  'post_type' => 'page',
  'post_status' => 'publish',
  'posts_per_page' => 3,
  'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
  echo 'List of 3 random pages';
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
    <?php
  endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>

    Wow, you rock! Thanks a lot…

    How would I exclude certain pages from this list? Thanks.
