So now it looks like it’s not random at all. Even though I’ve got order_by="rand" in the shortcode.
Hey icouper!
Can you give me a few more details on what you’re doing?
Can you let me know the exact shortcode you’re using, where or how you’re using it, and what steps you took to generate it?
FYI, some hosts (such as WPEngine) disable Random queries — they have an advanced option in their control panel to enable these queries. That would definitely give you the appearance of them not being random.
Let me know the answer to my questions and if the random query tip helps!
All the best,
Richard
Hey icouper!
I’m assuming this is resolved, as I haven’t heard a follow up to my questions above.
If you still need help, please let me know!
Best,
Richard
