<h3>How to Create Rotating Testimonials</h3>
Creating rotating customer testimonials is one of the most popular uses for the Blocks Randomizer. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
<ol>
<li>Create or edit the page where you want testimonials to appear (typically your homepage, services page, or dedicated testimonials page)</li>
<li>Add the Blocks Randomizer block by clicking the “+” button and searching for “Blocks Randomizer” or typing <code>/random</code></li>
<li>Add your first testimonial inside the randomizer container – you can use Quote blocks, Paragraph blocks, or custom testimonial blocks from your theme</li>
<li>Format your testimonial with the customer’s quote, name, company, and optionally add their photo using an Image block</li>
<li>Add more testimonials by clicking the “+” button inside the randomizer and repeating the formatting for each customer review</li>
<li>Adjust display settings (optional) – in the block sidebar, you can set how many testimonials to show at once if you want to display multiple reviews</li>
<li>Publish or update your page – visitors will now see a different random testimonial each time they load the page</li>
</ol>
Pro tip: Use consistent formatting for all testimonials (same heading sizes, image dimensions, text styles) to ensure smooth visual transitions between random selections.
<h3>How to Set Up Random Call-to-Actions</h3>
Rotating different call-to-action messages helps you test which messaging resonates best with your audience:
<ol>
<li>Open the page where you want rotating CTAs (homepage, landing page, or product page)</li>
<li>Add the Blocks Randomizer block in the section where you want your CTA to appear</li>
<li>Create your first CTA using Button blocks, Heading + Paragraph combinations, or custom CTA blocks from your theme or page builder</li>
<li>Duplicate and modify – create variations with different:
<ul>
<li>Headline text (“Start Your Free Trial” vs “Get Started Today”)</li>
<li>Button colors and styles</li>
<li>Supporting copy and benefits messaging</li>
<li>Urgency elements (“Limited Time Offer” vs “No Credit Card Required”)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Add each variation as a separate block group inside the randomizer</li>
<li>Set to display one CTA at a time using the “Number of blocks” setting (set to 1)</li>
<li>Monitor performance over time to see which messages drive more conversions</li>
</ol>
Pro tip: Keep the overall design structure similar across variations so the page layout remains consistent, but vary the messaging and emphasis to test different value propositions.
Pro tip 2: You can use different UTM values (specifically, <code>utm_content</code>) for your CTA buttons inside the randomizer, this way you can even track using any analytics solution (like Google Analytics, or Fathom Analytics, or Plausible Analytics) which CTA performs better.
<h3>How to Display Random Products</h3>
For e-commerce sites, rotating product showcases give equal visibility to your catalog:
<ol>
<li>Navigate to your homepage or shop page in the Block Editor</li>
<li>Add the Blocks Randomizer block where you want featured products to rotate</li>
<li>Insert WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads product blocks inside the randomizer – you can use:
<ul>
<li>Single Product blocks (for individual product showcases)</li>
<li>Products by Category blocks (for category spotlights)</li>
<li>Hand-picked Products blocks (for curated selections)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Configure each product block with your desired layout, show/hide settings for price, ratings, “add to cart” button, etc.</li>
<li>Add multiple product configurations – create different product spotlights, categories, or seasonal collections</li>
<li>Adjust how many products to display using the randomizer settings</li>
<li>Publish your page – products will rotate automatically, giving fair exposure to different items</li>
</ol>
Pro tip: Group related products together or create themed product blocks (e.g., “Summer Collection,” “Best Sellers,” “New Arrivals”) for more cohesive random displays.
<h3>How to Rotate Banner Advertisements</h3>
If you display ads, partner logos, or promotional banners, the randomizer helps distribute visibility:
<ol>
<li>Prepare your banner images – ensure they’re all the same dimensions for a consistent layout</li>
<li>Add the Blocks Randomizer block to your sidebar, header, or content area where banners should appear</li>
<li>Insert Image blocks inside the randomizer, uploading each banner or advertisement</li>
<li>Add links to each image by selecting the image and clicking the link icon – set destinations for each ad</li>
<li>Include alt text for accessibility and SEO on each image</li>
<li>Add multiple banners – upload all your advertisement images or promotional graphics</li>
<li>Set display quantity based on your layout (1 for single banner rotation, multiple for ad grids)</li>
<li>Publish and monitor – banners will rotate fairly, ensuring all advertisers or promotions get equal exposure</li>
</ol>
Pro tip: Use the same aspect ratio for all banners to prevent layout shifts. Consider adding a Text block below images for additional context or disclaimers if needed.
<h3>How to Configure Block Display Settings</h3>
Fine-tuning how many random blocks appear gives you precise control over your content:
<ol>
<li>Select the Blocks Randomizer block by clicking on it in the editor</li>
<li>Open the Settings sidebar on the right side of the screen (if not visible, click the gear icon in the top-right)</li>
<li>Find the “Number of blocks” setting in the block settings panel</li>
<li>Adjust the number using the input field or arrows:
<ul>
<li>Set to 1 for single random block display (great for hero sections, testimonials)</li>
<li>Set to 2-3 for multiple testimonials or product showcases</li>
<li>Set to 0 to hide the entire block on the front-end (useful for temporarily disabling without deleting content)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Preview changes by viewing the page on the front-end or using the editor preview</li>
<li>Consider your layout – ensure multiple random blocks fit well within your design at different screen sizes</li>
</ol>
Pro tip: The number you set is the maximum that will display. If you have fewer blocks inside the randomizer than the number specified, all available blocks will show.
<h3>Using with WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads</h3>
Perfect for e-commerce sites looking to rotate products, promotions, and calls-to-action:
<ul>
<li>Product blocks – Add Single Product, Products by Category, or Hand-picked Products blocks inside the randomizer</li>
<li>Product rotations – Showcase different products on your homepage or shop sidebar</li>
<li>Promotional banners – Rotate sale announcements and special offers</li>
<li>Category spotlights – Give equal visibility to different product categories</li>
<li>Cross-sells and upsells – Randomize product recommendations on product pages</li>
</ul>
Example use case: Add and configure a grid block on your homepage, then add a randomizer inside of it, then add 5-10 featured products to the randomizer, set it to display 3 at a time, and visitors will see a different product selection on each visit.
<h3>Using with Caching Plugins</h3>
Understanding how caching affects randomization is crucial:
WP Rocket: 
– Random blocks work with WP Rocket’s page caching 
– Content randomizes when cache regenerates (based on cache lifespan) 
– For per-visit randomization, add pages to cache exclusions 
– Consider using shorter cache lifespans for dynamic pages
W3 Total Cache: 
– Compatible with page and object caching 
– Random selection happens during cache generation 
– Configure cache expiration based on how often you want new random content 
– Use fragment caching to cache everything except the randomizer
WP Super Cache: 
– Works with WP Super Cache out of the box 
– Each cache refresh will select new random blocks 
– Set appropriate cache timeout for your content rotation needs
LiteSpeed Cache: 
– Fully compatible with LiteSpeed caching 
– Random blocks cached until cache expires 
– Use ESI (Edge Side Includes) for more dynamic behavior if needed
Cloudflare / CDN: 
– CDN caching will serve the same version to all users until cache expires 
– Configure page rules for pages with randomized content 
– Consider shorter TTL (Time To Live) for dynamic pages
Key principle: The Blocks Randomizer performs server-side randomization. Whatever is selected gets cached. New random selection happens when cache regenerates.
<h3>Using with SEO Plugins</h3>
The Blocks Randomizer is SEO-friendly since randomization happens server-side.
SEO best practices: 
– Don’t place critical, unchanging SEO content in the randomizer 
– Use the randomizer for supplementary elements (testimonials, CTAs, featured items) 
– All variations should be topically relevant to the page’s main purpose 
– Consider that search engines may index different random variations on different crawls
<h3>Using with Form Plugins</h3>
Randomize different contact forms or lead capture forms to determine which one performs better – collects more contacts or leads.
WPForms: 
– Insert WPForms blocks inside the randomizer 
– A/B test different form designs 
– Rotate forms for different services or products
Contact Form 7: 
– Add Contact Form 7 blocks to the randomizer 
– Test different form layouts and field combinations 
– Rotate forms for different audiences or purposes
Gravity Forms: 
– Add Gravity Forms blocks to random rotation 
– Test form conversion rates with different layouts 
– Display appropriate forms based on random selection
Formidable Forms: 
– Compatible with Formidable Forms blocks 
– Randomize contact forms, surveys, or calculators
<h3>Using with Membership & LMS Plugins</h3>
