<p>Random Post Box is a plugin that lets you place a box anywhere on your blog, with template tag or shortcode, and<br />
load random posts with an interval and fade effect. It uses jQuery (Ajax) which means that the content is loaded without<br />
loading the rest of the page. The timings can be set in the admin options-panel.</p>
<p>The template tag is <code><?php random_post_box(); ?></code>. You can also use the shortcode <code>[random-post-box]</code> in a page or post.</p>

<p>Randomize simply displays randomized text. You’re able to deposit text passages, quotes and HTML code in the administration backend by categories. You can use the widget, a shortcode or template tag to show up randomized content on your site.</p>
<h4>Ready for translation</h4>
<p>Since version 1.4 was released Randomize is ready for translation. Feel free to add or support your language on <a href="https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/randomize" rel="nofollow ugc">translate.wordpress.org</a>!</p>
<h4>Development Notice</h4>
<p>The original author has discontinued the development, so that I decided to continue the free distribution under the new name “Randomize”. It’s based on “Random Text” by pantsonhead.</p>


Randomize

The plugin does what it should and the bulk actions and categories are super solved! It would still be nice if you could output each widget with an indvidual class or format such as Div, H1, H2.

Works well

Store and display randomized/rotated content by categories in sidebar widgets, pages, posts or templates.
