Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about A Random Number

In the block editor add the "A Random Number" block and fill in the minimum and maximum in the sidebar. With the shortcode use the min and max attributes, for example [arandomnumber min=1 max=50]. If you enter min and max in the wrong order the plugin swaps them for you.

Yes. A new number is picked each time WordPress builds the page. If you use a page cache or a caching plugin, the cached copy of the page keeps the number that was generated when it was cached, so exclude that page from caching if you need a fresh value for every visitor.

Yes, add comma=no, for example [arandomnumber min=1000 max=9999 comma=no].

No. The plugin uses the WordPress random number function, which is fine for display purposes, but it is not designed for security-sensitive uses or for draws that must be provably fair.

It works anywhere WordPress runs shortcodes: posts, pages and text widgets. In page builders, use a shortcode or text element and paste the shortcode into it.

The plugin does not collect personal data about visitors. It keeps one small internal option in your own database.
