• I would like to use the “HTML or text after post” box to add a link to the random post attached to a “Learn More >>” text.

    The widget creates this link for both the thumbnail and the title, but I don’t see how to add this link to my Learn More link.

    Is this possible? (I did see the link asking for/about this called, “Read More link would be nice”, but the answer was to move to the Recent Posts Widgets extended. It seems that the decision mentioned there to discontinue the Random Post Widget support was reversed, so do I need to move over to the more powerful plugin? I’ve got everything I want with the current plugin shy of the ability to add the additional link.

    Really appreciate the plugin by the way!

    I’m still not clear with your problem. You want to add a “Learn More” link to each post?

    Yes, I want a “Learn More” link that goes to the random post. I have posts from a particular category going to a sidebar. There are seven posts in the category, so when the page loads, one of the seven is displayed. There is a thumbnail image, the post title and an excerpt.

    The widget generates a link to the full post attached to the thumbnail and the title. What I hope to do is use the “HTML after the random posts” to add “Learn More >”. Since the posts are randomly selected, I can’t put a hard-coded URL in the box. I need to have the link go the same place as the image and title.
