    I figured it out:
    around line 42, look for this:

    $args = array_merge($args, array(
			'orderby' => 'rand',
			'showposts' => 1,
		));

    Add this:
    'post_type' => 'your_post_type_goes_here',

    So you end up with:

    $args = array_merge($args, array(
			'orderby' => 'rand',
			'post_type' => 'your_post_type_goes_here',
			'showposts' => 1,
		));

    I’m using AppThemes Vantage, so I use 'post_type' => 'listing',

    😉

    Or, you could use the ‘random_post_args’ filter defined two lines above:

    function rpl_change_ptype( $args ) {
  $args['post_type'] = 'your_post_type_goes_here';

  return $args;
}
add_filter( 'random_post_args', 'rpl_change_ptype' );

    (the code can go in your functions.php file, or in another plugin etc.)
