Hello
I’d like to have certain posts (defined by category, tag, whatever is best) to randomly appear among my usual blog posts on the Wordpress front page. To make it a bit clearer – I’d like to have these posts serve as random ads mixed with regular non-ad posts.
I was able to have ALL my posts appear randomly by inserting this line on top of my index.php file (found in one of the topics on the Wordpress support forum):
<?php query_posts($query_string . ‘&orderby=rand’) ?>but I’d only like certain posts to behave that way.
Unfortunately I don’t know php, but it seems to me that the easiest way to achieve this is to have this in my index.php
<?php query_posts($query_string . ‘&orderby=rand’) ?>only with the added condition that it applies to posts assigned to specific category/tag. Unfortunately I don’t know how such a condition can be added in php, so any help will be highly appreciated.
