Allows the display of random posts, but allows the admin to determine how often the random posts are refreshed.

Features

Dedicated Admin Panel for...

• Setting the refresh rate (minutes).
• Setting which categories to exclude.

Individual Widget Options

• Can assign a title for each widget.
• Can assign a post limit for each widget.

Admin Refresh Options on a Post

If you are logged is as admin and are viewing a post, you will see a "Refresh" button beneath where the random posts are displayed. You can click this "Refresh" button and automatically refresh your random posts.

If you use WP Super Cache, clicking "Refresh" also clears the cache so your users can see the new random posts immediately.

The "Refresh" feature is useful for those who have long refresh times, but want to tweak the output a bit.
