What is it you want to display? A state homepage display or blog type?

Try this method.

I just googled "random home page wordpress"

Have you tried this:

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Consolas]<?php[/FONT][/COLOR]query_posts(array('orderby' => 'rand', 'showposts' => 1));
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Consolas]endif; ?>
[/FONT][/COLOR]

Hi there

I would advise that you take a look at http://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-random-posts-widget/

Simply download it and upload via the Wordpress standard installer or you can manually upload via ftp, your choice. Its a widget so its pretty easy to configure.

Your mailbox is full but if you need any help, PM me.

<a rel="nofollow" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Consolas]endif; ?>
[/FONT][/COLOR]

That will only display random links to the post, so does half the job, the coding needs to be altered to pull the full post.

Oh sorry, I misunderstood.

PM me a pastebin with the PHP of the page you want it in. Or Skype me...

This isn't a $15 problem.

I think you can go to settings>reading and there is an option if you want to show latest posts or static page to come up each time you go to the site.Correct me if im wrong, but this is what i see on my WP settings

I think BHW is eating half my outgoing PMs. Did you get the page or what?
