    Hello Greg,

    I have read the thread: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/random-adverts_list/ regarding the random ads.

    I want to apply this random list in categories. The thing is that in that posts you said that we need to introduce this code in the shortcode:

    [adverts_list order_by=”rand”]

    The question is, how can I apply this if I’m publishing the list directly from the category section?

    Hi,

    you should be able to do that by adding the code below in the theme functions.php file (or even by creating a new blank plugin and adding the code there https://wpadverts.com/blog/how-to-use-code-snippets-in-wordpress/)

    add_filter( "adverts_tax_shortcode_args", function( $args ) {
  $args["order_by"] = "rand";
  return $args;
} );

    Thank you Greg.

    Is it possible to apply this filter only in one category?

    Hi,

    yes, you can do that by checking on which page is the code being run, for example if you want to run it only on the page which slug is “random-order-category” then you can make the snippet look like this

    add_filter( "adverts_tax_shortcode_args", function( $args ) {
  if( get_queried_object()->slug == "random-order-category" ) {
    $args["order_by"] = "rand";
  }
  return $args;
} );
