Random Content

Àpèjúwe

Random Content is the easiest way to keep your WordPress site feeling fresh and dynamic. Create content groups, add as many items as you want, and display a random selection anywhere on your site with a single shortcode or widget.

Every time a visitor loads the page, they see something different. That means higher engagement, more clicks, and a site that never feels stale.

What can you do with it?

• Rotate testimonials — Show a different customer quote on every page load
• Randomize banners — Keep sidebar and header promotions fresh without manual updates
• Cycle CTAs — Test different calls-to-action to see what gets clicks
• Display tips or quotes — Add variety to any page, post, or widget area
• Shuffle FAQs — Surface different questions each visit

Free features

Getting started

1. Create entries under the Random Content post type
2. Organize them into Groups (works like categories)
3. Add [random_content group_id="123"] wherever you want random content to appear

ThatÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s it. Your content rotates automatically on every page load.

Need more control?

Random Content Pro gives you complete control over what visitors see and when they see it:

• Scheduling — Set start and end dates so content appears and disappears automatically. Run time-limited campaigns without touching your site.
• Visitor targeting — Show different content based on user role, login status, UTM parameters, referrer, or page type.
• Frequency controls — Prevent the same item from showing twice in a row. Set cooldown periods between displays.
• Weighted selection — Assign weights (1–10) to each item. Higher weight = shown more often. Perfect for A/B testing.
• Display rules — Control visibility per group: logged-in only, specific roles, specific page types.
• Fallback content — Define what shows when all items are filtered out. Never display an empty space.
• Automatic updates — Get new features and fixes delivered directly to your WordPress dashboard.
