 * My website [http://www.animewolf.tv](http://www.animewolf.tv) has a bunch of 
   series for different Anime’s with embeded players.
 * Each series is part of a custom post type, here is an example on one.
 * [http://animewolf.tv/series/hacksign/](http://animewolf.tv/series/hacksign/)
 * If you look on
 * [http://animewolf.tv/watch-anime/](http://animewolf.tv/watch-anime/)
 * it has a list of all of the shows.
 * I want to generate a button with a ‘surprise me’ so when people click on it, 
   a random show will be displayed.
 * For example, if you click on it you could get..
 * [http://animewolf.tv/series/hacksign/](http://animewolf.tv/series/hacksign/)
 * then again you would get
    [http://animewolf.tv/series/dragonball/](http://animewolf.tv/series/dragonball/)
 * then again
 * [http://animewolf.tv/series/death-note/](http://animewolf.tv/series/death-note/)
 * etc..
 * any one have any idea how to do this or if I can get a plugin for it?
 * EDIT:
    What I would like can be shown here:
 * [http://www.animeseason.com/](http://www.animeseason.com/)
 * (Left hand side, where it says ‘Random Anime’)
 * Would be super appreciative. thx

 * One way I can think of ( top of my head ) would be using [get_posts](https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts)
   and setting to one random. It is very possible though. 🙂
