Might just need to use a shortcode to be added to a block
<?php
function imwz_rand_posts() {
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'molecule',
'orderby' => 'rand',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$string .= '<ul>';
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post();
$string .= '<li><a href="'. get_permalink() .'">'. get_the_title() .'</a></li>';
}
$string .= '</ul>';
/* Restore original Post Data */
wp_reset_postdata();
} else {
$string .= 'no posts found';
}
return $string;
}
add_shortcode('imwz-random-posts','imwz_rand_posts');
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
