Selecting a Random Entry

Problem

Selecting a random entry.

You can retrieve a random entry by setting the sort order to RAND(), and the limit to 1:

{% set entry = craft.entries.order('RAND()').limit(1) %}

As with any other craft.entries request, you can optionally filter the returned entries by section, status, relationships, and so forth.

For example, the following code retrieves a random entry from the “products” section:

{% product = craft.entries.section('products').order('RAND()').limit(1) %}
