 * i need to be able to display a random post as well as the latest post (on 2 different
   pages) is ther a way to do this. I would like to avoid having to use 2 different
   plugins if possible.

 * If you want to use a second plugin, you can use [http://thisismyurl.com/plugins/easy-recent-posts/](http://thisismyurl.com/plugins/easy-recent-posts/)
   along with [http://thisismyurl.com/plugins/easy-random-posts/](http://thisismyurl.com/plugins/easy-random-posts/)
   to do what you’re looking for.
 * Otherwise, you’d need to write a special function to do it.

 * Thanks for your reply. If I wanted to just show 1 post and just the title can
   this be done with the shortcode?

 * Sorry no, you’d have have to create a new shortcode for that.
 * The basic idea is here [http://thisismyurl.com/2440/create-a-random-redirect-in-wordpress/](http://thisismyurl.com/2440/create-a-random-redirect-in-wordpress/)
   but you’d have to create a shortcode following this tutorial [http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-a-shortcode-in-wordpress/](http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-a-shortcode-in-wordpress/)
