Random and latest post

If you want to use a second plugin, you can use https://thisismyurl.com/plugins/easy-recent-posts/ along with https://thisismyurl.com/plugins/easy-random-posts/ to do what you’re looking for.

Otherwise, you’d need to write a special function to do it.

Thanks for your reply. If I wanted to just show 1 post and just the title can this be done with the shortcode?

Sorry no, you’d have have to create a new shortcode for that.

The basic idea is here https://thisismyurl.com/2440/create-a-random-redirect-in-wordpress/ but you’d have to create a shortcode following this tutorial https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-a-shortcode-in-wordpress/
