Deleting emails older than 2 years

So all you need is simply 1 random post, 1 random post->ID or 1 post link, you dont need to go through all the hoops. (Update: added $wpdb function to tests) Jump to conclusion or lets evaluate our options here: query_posts(), get_posts(),wp_query(), $wpdb As a rule of thumb, usually we can say wp_query > get_posts…

Previously we have established that the fastest way to get an ID is using wpdb . So, simply to get a random post link use: function eo_get_a_rand_postlink() { global $wpdb; $rand_post_id = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ AND post_type = ‘post’ ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1”); return get_permalink($rand_post_id); }
