Instead of showing the latest posts on the frontpage, is there any way to make it show random posts? Tried tinkering with it but couldnt find a good setting.

Try this out on your index.php file

Quote:

<?php
global $wpdb;
$numposts = 10;

$rand_posts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT $numposts");
foreach($rand_posts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>

Template tags and what not go here

<?php endforeach; ?>

Just change the value of $numposts to define how many posts to query for.

heh-heh... just don't use the wordpress support board, I got called a skank over there because my sites have "teen porn" on them.

Must be the same fuckers that check the google ads.
