# Random Table Shortcode

**Download**:
[Random Table Shortcode Extension 1.0](https://tablepress.org/download/extension/tablepress-shortcode-random-table.zip?output_format=md)

For some use cases, it might be desired to show a random table from a certain set
of tables.

To do that, download, install, and activate the Extension like a regular WordPress
plugin. You can then use a Shortcode in a post or page like

    ```language-plaintext
    [random-table from=1,4,6,7,9 /]Code language: plaintext (plaintext)
    ```

to show a random table from the set of tables with the IDs 1, 4, 6, 7, and 9.

If this Extension is useful for you, please check out the available [TablePress Premium features](https://tablepress.org/modules/)
and consider getting a [Premium license plan](https://tablepress.org/pricing/), 
which bring even more features for you and your site visitors. Thank you!
