Only using
<php?
function imwz_rand_posts() {
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'molecule',
'orderby' => 'rand',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
$string = '';
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$string .= '<div>';
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post();
$string .= '<h3><a href="'. get_permalink() .'">'. get_the_title() .'</a></h3>';
$string .= '<p>' . the_excerpt() . '</p>';
}
$string .= '</div>';
/* Restore original Post Data */
wp_reset_postdata();
} else {
$string .= 'no posts found';
}
return $string;
}
// [imwz-random-posts] shortcode
add_shortcode('imwz-random-posts','imwz_rand_posts');
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
the paragraph part loads above all other data/blocks and not below the title inside the same shortcode block. Any ideas why?
