A widget for the sidebar would be nice

Hi! I tried installing this awhile ago and when I tried testing it, it was taking too long to load one blog post. There was no error during the plugin activation.

Thanks!

Chiming in again! It has increased page views on my site since search engine traffic is offered select posts from my information pool. It allows them to "hop around" my blog.

Thanks! Will be sure to check out the next version once available!

phoenix.heart,

Hi, it would be great if it can also be used on other pages (index.php, category.php, page.php, etc). Would possibly, greatly increase page views.

Looking forward to the next version!

Hi, as for now the plugin uses a post's ID to exclude it from the returned results, that's why it only works with single.php. However, I'm thinking of a way to overcome this limitation. Hopefully it wouldn't be a problem in the next version.

Great plugin! But somehow I can't seem to get it to work on my index.php page. Is it restricted to single.php only? Thanks!

Yeah, just like Gurumustuk, I' also wait for the widget option. Nice plugin though...

Sorry Valerie, I'm afraid custom fields have not been supported in this current version of Ajax Random Posts (yet). Definitely I will think about it in the next version.

The images are set via custom field when creating a post. Take a look at the sidebar on my site - see the Be Random area? Each of those pics links to its associated post. That's what I'd like to achieve with your plugin. Possible?

Hi Valerie, I don't know about the images - where are they from? About the link, you can use {url} tag to "Formart each item in the list".

Great idea for a plugin! I'm currently using the Random Posts plugin by Rob Marsh, because I can set it to show only the image and link to the article. It's the only one I've seen that does that. But he seems to have stopped supporting it. Any chance you can make yours do the same? I'd love to have the Ajax function to get past my caching as well as an active author.

nice plugin phoenix! :)

only idee... it is possible to prefer radom postings again the actual tag clouds ?
example:
- when tags mostly used, then prefer radom postings for this tags

Why this? On my blog, tag cloud reflect my main interest's.

Hi I would like to add 'random post' to my original post showing in the main page (As Announcement). How can i do that?

Chris, as you can see it still works for me... Could you please check if you're using a div with ID "ajaxrp", because the plugin would fill this div with the posts.
And btw, your site is very stylish. Awesome :)

Just upgraded to the newest version and...no more displaying of posts! Worked like a charm before the change last week, but now the post no longer renders. I have it set to show a single post in a red block on my sidebar (non-widget; manual coding) and loved your plug-in. Now, flummoxed. I checked out the code and cannot figure out why it will no longer work. Weird. Grr. Thoughts?

Very nice plugin.

Figured it out. We were using the Thumbnails for Excerpts plugin, which automatically displays a thumbnail, apparently indiscriminately.

Thanks for your help.

Great it works for you Lily. But I'm not sure why it's taking images from your posts. What is the link to your site?

Re: AJAX Random Posts - a new WP plugin (of mine)

Guest — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 06:17:15 -0000

amazing -it works! Thanks for your quick help.
Is there an easy way to stop it from taking images from the posts so that it only shows linked titles?
