Question

i was browsing some themes on wordpress, and i found one that is kind of a clone from 9gag.tv

You can see the demo theme here http://codecanyon.net/item/youtube-viral-videos-9gag-tv-clone/full_screen_preview/6770578

If you see that page, you see the "latest videos" area below, that has the posts arranged by date, but when you open a video, that area changes and it gives you random videos.

Is there a way to arrange the videos like in the home page and allow user to browse to older videos?

Answer 1

I guess its easy to achieve it using the get_posts() loop. You'll also need to register new custom post_type for whatever posts you're going to post and fetch it through a loop like the example below.

I'm sure someone else will give a full answer but this will get you started.

<?php
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'custom_post_type', 'posts_per_page' => 10, 'orderby' => 'rand' ); 
$attachments = get_posts( $args );
if ( $attachments ) {
    foreach ( $attachments as $post ) {
        setup_postdata( $post );
        the_attachment_link( $post->ID, false );
        the_content();
    }
    wp_reset_postdata();
}
?>
