What It Does

This plugin allows you to display a random number on your WordPress site using a simple shortcode. The shortcode [arandomnumber] can be added to any post, page, or widget as many times as needed.

The default range for the random number is 1 to 100, but you can customize this range using the min and max attributes. For example, [arandomnumber min=1 max=10000] will output a random number between 1 and 10,000.

You can also disable commas in the output by using the comma=no attribute. For instance, [arandomnumber min=100000 max=999999 comma=no] will display a random number without commas.

FAQ

How dare you. It outputs a random number, so if you need a random number, there is nothing better. This is also useful to check if a page is being cached or if your server is properly loading since the number will change on every page load. Use it to add random parameters to forms, urls, etc.

See? That’s practical.
