How to random display posts from all categories, most importantly when index.php is not a home page, since home page is static page.
Any solution?

as with anything there's many ways to skin a cat, but there's an example in wordpress docs here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts
numberposts is the number of posts you want
orderby is rand which is equiv to mysql rand() which is random num
the docs show other parameters you can use also
i guess you could put this in page.php, although I guess it depends where you want it, etc, but i just posted general example
<ul>
<?php
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 5, 'orderby' => 'rand' );
$rand_posts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) : ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>Last edited by alcstrategy; 06-04-2013, 11:40 AM.Comment

Thanks. Would this ^ display random posts from all categories combined?Comment

i believe it will query posts from any category if that's what you mean
you can set categories with the "category" paramComment
-
it queries all posts and returns random order but will limit to 5 because of the numberposts paramaterComment

You should be able to do something like this
Code:<?php $posts = get_posts('orderby=rand&numberposts=10'); foreach($posts as $post) { ?>icq 156131086Comment
