John has got a point there.

ps: I was courious why the other solutions didn't work, so I found out why:

a) there was a tiny misspell in Keith Donegan's solution, there was a missing "t" in the $ouput variable name (should have been $output)

b) and I forgot to put $post->ID inside get_the_title(), but I don't like query_posts for various reasons so I used get_posts instead.


So here are the two corrected solutions just for referance:

Keith Donegan's solution

add_shortcode('random_quotes', 'my_random_quotes');

function my_random_quotes(){

	$output = '';

    //The Query

    query_posts('post_type=client-quotes&posts_per_page=1&orderby=rand');

    //The Loop

    if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

        $output .= '<h3>' . get_the_title() . '</h3>';

        $output .= '<p class="name"><a title="Testimonials from our clients" href="/testimonials-from-our-clients/">...read more</a></p>';

    endwhile; else:

    endif;

    //Reset Query

    wp_reset_query();	

	return $output;

}

Dbrane's solution

//add_shortcode('random_quotes', 'my_random_quotes');

function my_random_quotes(){

        $s="";

        $posts=get_posts(array( 'post_type'=>'post','numberposts' =>2,'orderby'=>'rand'));

        foreach( $posts as $post ){

                setup_postdata($post);

                $s.="<h3>".get_the_title($post->ID)."</h3>";

                $s.='<p class="name"><a title="Testimonials from our clients" href="/testimonials-from-our-clients/">...read more</a></p>';

        }

}
