Nice but is it possible to add a list of random posts instead op latest posts by author?
Replace
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'post', //* post type only 'post_status' => 'publish', //* only show published posts 'author' => get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ), //* passing author ID 'post__not_in' => array( get_the_ID() ), //* Excluding the current post 'post_per_page' => 5, //* displaying 5 posts. You can change it 'no_found_rows' => true, 'update_post_term_cache' => false, 'update_post_meta_cache' => false, );WITH
