Is it possible to modify the code to include -custom field value of the random post must also equal the value of the post.

If I could be so bold – If so what would be the code?

I answered my own question – it was very easy! I modified the query to include post_type=any

Is there an easy way to get this plugin to show custom post types instead of regular posts?

Hello Steph,
I use “Simple Post Thumbnails” and i want to include the thumbs for each post from “Random Posts from Category”

I tried this code but it doesn’t works :
img alt=”?php the_title(); ?” src=”?php echo p75GetThumbnail($post->ID, null, null); ?” border=”0″ /

Thank you for your help.

apologies but the code tag did not seem to work.

was using:
?php get_the_post_thumbnail( $id, $size, $attr ); ?

trying to use but not working:
?php echo do_shortcode(“[gallery]“); ?

Hi . . . This is a great plugin!

I was wanting to know if something is possible? I am using the plugin in the fotter of my pages and haved edited it to include the gd star rating and the image for the random post.

Problem: I decided that instead of using

to get the image placed into the content of the post, I have coded my theme to show all images in the gallery using . . .

Since changing to using the gallery code, I cannot get an image to show in your plugin.

Goal: Would you have any suggestions as to what code to use to accomplish showing the first or last image, and what could be the only image in the gallery attached to that random post, in your plugin? I know just enough php to be dangerous. lol

Stephanie, many thanks for the great plugin, although I am having the same issue as Lynne Robson except it is only first post published in the category which is being picked up and used.
I don’t suppose you have any ideas what could be causing this to happen?
Thanks in advance,
Craig
