How to use Lucky Post

There are two ways to use Lucky Post and some rules to follow to ensure it works.

Method 1: href link

Perhaps the simplest method is to link your href (url) to https://example.com/#rdm-post/

• https://example.com being your own website URL
• /#rdm-post/ being the trigger

Important notes:

• It's important to keep the forward-slash '/' at the beginning and end of 'rdm-post' along with the full url and hash '#'. Otherwise the trigger will not function. Correct usage example:

<a href="https://example.com/#rdm-post/">Random Post</a>

Inccorect usage:

<a href="/rdm-post">Random Post</a>

Method 2: classname

Sometimes we may have elements without a href (url) link anchored. In these instances we can use the classname btn-random

E.g.

<button class="btn-random">Get random post</button>

How do I add Lucky Post to my navigation?

Navigate to Settings > Navigation and create a new link with your website URL followed by '/rdm-post/'

E.g. https://example.com/#rdm-post/
