    Hi…

    I’m using the event list shortcode to display “related” events.

    I want to limit this to 3 events on the page, but would like the 3 events to load randomly from a greater amount. (i.e. there are 10 events, of which I want to display 3 random ones each time)

    Is that possible?

    thanks

    Andrew

    HI Andrew,

    Not out of the box. But you could create your own shortcode to do this. You can use eo_get_events() (see docs) to query the next 10 events say, then pick three random integers between 0 and the number of events returned (as it may be less than 10) and use that to select the events, then display them however you like using the available functions.
