A WordPress plugin that generates random numbers for use in Elementor forms. This plugin uses unique naming to avoid conflicts with other random number generator plugins.

Installation

  1. Upload the random-number-generator-elementor-form folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
  3. Go to Settings > Random Number Elementor to configure default settings

Usage Methods

Method 1: Shortcode (Easiest)

Use the [random_number_elementor] shortcode anywhere in your Elementor forms or text fields.

Basic Usage:

[random_number_elementor]

With Parameters:

[random_number_elementor min="1000" max="9999"]
[random_number_elementor min="1" max="100" prefix="ID-"]
[random_number_elementor min="1" max="999999" length="6"]
[random_number_elementor min="1" max="100" decimals="2"]

Available Parameters:

  • min - Minimum value (default: 1)
  • max - Maximum value (default: 999999)
  • prefix - Text before the number (e.g., "ID-", "REF-")
  • suffix - Text after the number
  • decimals - Number of decimal places (0 for integers)
  • length - Fixed length with zero padding (e.g., length="6" produces 000123)

Examples:

  • [random_number_elementor min="1000" max="9999"] → 5847
  • [random_number_elementor min="1" max="100" prefix="ID-"] → ID-42
  • [random_number_elementor min="1" max="999999" length="6"] → 000123
  • [random_number_elementor min="1" max="100" decimals="2"] → 45.67

Method 2: Elementor Dynamic Tags (Recommended)

  1. In your Elementor form, click on a field (text, hidden, etc.)
  2. Click the Dynamic Tags icon (looks like a database/stack icon)
  3. Navigate to the "Site" category
  4. Select "Random Number Elementor"
  5. Configure the settings in the Dynamic Tag panel:
    • Minimum Value
    • Maximum Value
    • Prefix
    • Suffix
    • Decimal Places
    • Fixed Length

Method 3: CSS Class with JavaScript

Add a hidden field to your Elementor form and give it the CSS class rngef-field along with data attributes:

In Elementor:

  1. Add a Hidden field to your form
  2. Set the CSS Class to: rngef-field
  3. Add Advanced > Attributes:
    • data-rngef-min = "1"
    • data-rngef-max = "9999"
    • data-rngef-prefix = "REF-"
    • data-rngef-suffix = ""
    • data-rngef-length = "6" (optional)

The JavaScript will automatically populate this field when the form loads.

Use Cases

Reference Numbers

Generate unique reference numbers for form submissions:

[random_number_elementor min="100000" max="999999" prefix="REF-"]

Result: REF-584729

[random_number_elementor min="1" max="999999" length="8" prefix="ORD-"]

[random_number_elementor min="1000" max="9999" prefix="SAVE-"]

Settings

Navigate to Settings > Random Number Elementor in WordPress to configure:

  • Default Minimum Value
  • Default Maximum Value
  • Default Prefix
  • Default Suffix
  • Default Decimal Places

These settings will be used as defaults when shortcode parameters are not specified.

Unique Naming

This plugin uses unique identifiers to avoid conflicts:

  • Shortcode: [random_number_elementor]
  • CSS Class: rngef-field
  • Dynamic Tag: "Random Number Elementor"
  • Settings Page: "Random Number Elementor"

Tips

  1. Unique Numbers: While the plugin generates random numbers, it doesn't guarantee uniqueness across submissions. For truly unique IDs, combine with timestamps or use a custom solution.

  2. Hidden Fields: For reference numbers that users don't need to see, use Elementor's Hidden field type with the shortcode or dynamic tag.

  3. Form Confirmation: Use the random number in your form confirmation message by referencing the field name, e.g., "Your reference number is [field id="reference_number"]"

  4. Email Notifications: Include the random number in email notifications to users for tracking purposes.

Browser Compatibility

This plugin works in all modern browsers and is fully compatible with Elementor 3.0+.
