## Description

To add random list of submitted posts and one random link with customized link string.

**Usage**

To put previous posts list randomly, you shuould just add below string at the place
where you want to place it.

    ```
    <?php rpl_random_lists(); ?>
    ```

And if you want to customize the list, youcan use 5 options

    ```
    <?php rpl_random_lists(num_limit,exclude,date_limit,echo,list); ?>
    ```

num_limit : default value is “5”

exclude : default value is “” set the post ID which you never want to show in output
list. date_limit : default value is “” set date limit. posts which is later than
this date limit never be shown in output list. the date will be evaluate by strtotime
function, so available format for this option is same as strtotime function. echo:
default value is true If set this value as true then function returns result as 
output as html, and set as false then function returns result as string. list : 
default value is true If set this value as true then function returns result as 
list style using ul and li tag, and set this value as false then function returns

To put one random link with customized title like “feeling lucky!”, you shuould 
just add below string at the place where you want to place it.

    ```
    <?php rpl_feelinig_lucky(text,exclude,date_limit,echo); ?>
    ```

text : default value is “feeling lucky!”
 set text string to show as hyperlink string.
for example in case of default the output is like this [feeling lucky!](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/random-post-list/randomly-selected-url?output_format=md).
exclude : default value is “” set the post ID which you never want to show in output
list. date_limit : default value is “” set date limit. posts which is later than
this date limit never be shown in output list. the date will be evaluate by strtotime
function, so available format for this option is same as strtotime function. echo:
default value is true If set this value as true then function returns result as 
output as html, and set as false then function returns result as string.
