    Heya
    I’ve recently started using WordPress and I came across kinda annoying problem. Is there a way I could display random posts on my main page rather then the latests one? If so, how do I do it? I’ve looked through google, found some out of dated tips, none of them worked tho :<

    Many thanks,
    Ryan

    You need to create custom query loop with posts, and change order to random.

    <?php $index_query = new WP_Query('post_type=post&showposts=10&orderby=rand'); ?>
<?php while ($index_query->have_posts()) : $index_query->the_post(); ?>
code here...
<?php endwhile; ?>

    You need the paginator?
