random related posts

Hi albetaqa

Can you post a link to a page where this is happening?

Try it with this in your (child) theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'related_posts_by_taxonomy_widget_args', 'random_widget_filter', 10, 2 );

function random_widget_filter( $args, $instance ) {

	$args['order'] = 'RAND';

	return $args;
}

btw:
consider creating a child theme instead of editing your theme directly – if you upgrade the theme all your modifications will be lost. Or create a plugin with the code above.

It doesn’t seem your theme’s functions.php file is used. Can you remove the code from your functions.php.

See if it works by creating a plugin with this plugin. Use the same code as the code you removed from your functions.php file.

It’s important to remove the code from functions.php first.
