I currently have 6 ads and two sidebar places. The ads always show up like this:

Spot 1: Ad 1
Spot 2: Ad 2

Spot 1: Ad 3
Spot 2: Ad 4

Spot 1: Ad 5
Spot 2: Ad 6

I’d like for the ads to rotate more randomly, so that one page load might see something like

Spot 1: Ad 3
Spot 2: Ad 6

and then later

Spot 1: Ad 5
Spot 2: Ad 1

Is there a setting for this?

Thank you @alchymyth, but I already started my own topic 2 months ago (http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/how-to-rotate-ads-block-items).

And now I saw that hookedowinter started that topic which has pretty much the same question I asked before, with no answer so far. So I left my message here because I’d like to be notified of possible solutions.

But thank you anyway.

Hi friends. I think I found a solution.

File: ad.class.php
Line: 456
Change from: ORDER BY ad_cycle
Change to: ORDER BY ad_cycle, rand()

I didn’t check if it’s going to mess up with other things, but looks like it’s working on my website now.
