## Сүрөттөө

The shortcode [arandomnumber] can be added to any post, page, or widget as many 
times as needed to display a random number. The number has a default range of 1 –
100, but can be changed using the min and max attributes, like so:

[arandomnumber min=1 max=10000]: This will output a random number between 1 and 
10,000. (Like this: 8,014)
 [arandomnumber min=-500 max=-1]: This will output a 
random number between -500 and -1. (Like this: -232) [arandomnumber min=50000000
max=60000000]: This will output a random number between 50,000,000 and 60,000,000.(
Like this: 56,449,060)

etc.

If you wish to disable commas, use the comma=no attribute, like so: [arandomnumber
min=100000 max=999999 comma=no]. This will output a random number within the range
without the commas, like this: 456245.

## Орнотуу

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/a-random-number` directory,
    or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
 3. Use the shortcode to display your magic number.

## FAQ.KG

### Why does this plugin exist? It seems kind of pointless?

How dare you. It outputs a random number, so if you need a random number, there 
is nothing better. This is also useful to check if a page is being cached or if 
your server is properly loading since the number will change on every page load.
Use it to add random parameters to forms, urls, etc.

See? That’s practical.

I use it to add a random number to a hidden form field in a form used to invite 
others to register That is then emailed as part of the invitation and entered by
the person when they register to verify them..

This plugin is awesome, it’s useful and so easy to use (you just have to insert 
a shortcode anywhere you want and baaaaam).

I needed a way to force a link to reload and not use the cached version. This tool
allowed me to insert a random number in the URL.
