    Greetings, I have a list of post id’s and I am trying to display one post at a time in random order.

    [display-posts image_size=”full” posts_per_page=”1″ include_excerpt=”true” excerpt_length=”25″ post_type=”customposttype” display-posts display-posts id=”391, 395, 399, 403, 406, 1787″ order=”RAND” category_display=”true” category_label=”Category: ” excerpt_more=”Read more ” excerpt_more_link=”true” ]

    Is there a problem when there are 2 or more shortcodes on the same page?

    There’s a few issues I see with that shortcode:
    1. You don’t need display-posts display-posts added in the middle
    2. The order parameter is for specifying an ASC or DESC order. You should change that to orderby="RAND"

    Everything should be working after those changes. If you’re still having issues, it might be due to your host disabling random ordering.

    Let me know if you have any more issues with it.
