WordPress Links Manager - Display a random link from a category

/ Published in: PHP

Sometimes you just want a random link to display and outside of the default format, this works perfectly and removes all default html (list items / headings).

Expand | Embed | Plain Text

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML

//swap out the category (33) for your own category
$links = wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=&categorize=0&sort_column=menu_order&show_name=1&echo=0&category=33&orderby=rand&limit=1');
 
//create array from string returned by wp_list_bookmarks
$bookmarks = explode('</li>', $links); 
 
//print without a link, if you want you could remove strip_tags() to bring the href back.
print '<p>' . strip_tags( $bookmarks[0] ) . '</p>';
