 * Is it possible to order posts randomly so that at every page load the posts are
   in a different order?
 * I’ve tried `orderby="random"` but I can’t achieve the effect.
 * The full shortcode I’m using is this:
 * `[ajax_load_more post_type="page" orderby="random" post_format="standard" posts_per_page
   ="7" max_pages="0" transition="fade" button_label="More" exclude="30,35"]`
 * Thank you.

 * Random is currently not working do to various factors. It is on my list so hopefully
   i’ll be able to get it working sooner than later.

 * Try this:
 * `[ajax_load_more orderby="rand"]`
 * It works for me.

 * It doesn’t actually work. You will end up with duplicate posts.
