Avoid to select/show a randomly queried post for a certain period of time (post of the day)
Question
I would like to present a randomly selected post on my homepage every day. I have already created a working query for this (I have set 60 seconds as time for testing purposes).
Now I’m looking for a solution that for a certain period of time (e.g. a month) the same posts are not shown again. So if a post is randomly selected and displayed, it should not be displayed again until after one month at the earliest.
function post_of_the_day( $query_args) {
global $post;
$rand = sprintf( 'RAND(%d)', floor( time() / 60 ) );
$query_args = array(
'post_type' => 'custom_post_type',
'orderby' => $rand,
'posts_per_page' => 1,
);
return $query_args;
}
