    Hello!

    Thank you for a GREAT plugin! Fast, customizable, and easy to understand. I was wondering if it is possible to include a parameter in the shortcode that lets the user show X number of posts randomly selected from Y number of popular posts.

    For instance show 5 randomly selected posts from the 100 most popular posts from the last year. New posts on each refresh.

    Hi @dekadinious,

    Thanks for the kind words. I’m really glad you like my plugin 🙂

    No, unfortunately there’s no such feature. It’s possible though but it would require some PHP/MySQL coding to get that information so you can pick random posts out of those 100 to show on your list. You’d need a developer for this -assuming you’re not one haha- but it’s completely doable.

    Yeah, I am. It didn’t even occur to me to just query 100 posts from the plugin and show random posts from that dataset… Thank you for opening up my brain a little bit! 🙂
