I'm trying to load 4 random thumbnails at the end of each post on Wordpress and each thumbnail should link to its respective post. I can't figure out how to do it properly, since I have very little knowledge of PHP. I have found this code snippet in the theme that get the thumbnail and the title:
<div class="col-sm-4 col-md-4 col-lg-4 tiles" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class( 'post' ); ?> itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting">
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
echo '<div class="post-thumbnail">';
echo '<a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '">';
echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'shop_isle_blog_image_size' );
echo '</a>';
echo '</div>';
}
?>
<div class="tile_title">
<a class="post-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( get_permalink() ); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></a>
</div>
</div>
Furthermore, the thumbnails should come from the same category as the current post. E.g. if someone is reading a blogpost from the "Travel" category the 4 thumbnails should only come from this category, and the same goes for the rest of the categories. Is it possible to do this?
