I guess I can better use a repeater field as well then. One to basically load post slides using array_rand()
I do not need a radio select box like in the example.
I would need to use a loop and load a post at random. A basic repeater field example in the ACF Repeater Field tutorial shows how to load a sub field value from a random row of a Repeater field:
<?php
$rows = get_field('repeater_field_name' );
if( $rows ) {
$index = array_rand( $rows );
$rand_row = $rows[ $index ];
$rand_row_title = $rand_row['title'];
// Do something...
}
This loop is close to what I need, but I would need to “just” load a random post from a taxonomy from the last 3-4 months.
Perhaps I just need an ACF block, in it do a new WP_Query
to load custom post type at random from a date range. Will need to think about this more.
