Shortcode usage:
[srp_random n=X cols=X cats=X tags=X]
where “n” is the numnber of products to show, “cols” is the number of columns. You can use “cats” to show products of certain categories (comma separated IDs). You can use “tags” to show products with certain tags (comma separated).

RandomText is a handy WordPress plugin that allows you to save, edit and delete categorized text, and inject random/rotated text by category into the sidebar (via widget) or page body (via template tags). The sidebar widget allows you to set an optional Title, and text header and footer. You could say RandomText picks up where the Text widget left off. Whether you want to display random/rotated trivia, quotes, helpful hints, featured articles, or snippets of html, you can do it all easily with RandomText.
