   I am trying to find a solution to this problem. I checked some plugins, i found one that is special, because is simple, and seams to function for showing one single rondom post. That is great!
   So, i have this function :
   

   function single_random_post() {
   
   		    global $wpdb;
   		    $query = "SELECT id, post_title, post_name FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ((post_status='publish') AND (post_type = 'post') AND ($wpdb->posts.post_password = '')) ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1";
   		    $randompost = $wpdb->get_results($query);
   		    $post = $randompost[0];
   		    $post_title = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($post->post_title));
   		    $showpost .= "<a href=\"" . get_permalink($post->id) . "\" title=\"". $post_title ."\">" . $post_title ."</a>\n";
   		    echo $showpost;	
   
   }

   What i try to do is to resolve my issue. I wanna show some text not just the post title.
   Can help me someone with that?

   cbogdan,

   Add the_content() similar to what this function is doing with the post_title().

   Thanks Share G, but this plugin doesn`t have nothing to do with the content of call function.
   That is the problem, all the plugins seams to show only links, not text from the post that is calling in the page ...
   I just wanna show some text from the post that is called in the random post function ..
   doc4 seams to have a good idea and i`m waiting for his help.
