Shortcode for random products not working as expected

    When I limit the products shortcode to 4 products, it repeats only few sets of products, maybe 16, and it never displays the other ones.

    Hi @forusak,

    The list of products displayed by the [products] shortcode is cached for performance reasons. When orderby=rand is used, a few sets of randomly generated products are cached and then, on each page load, WooCommerce randomly chooses from one of the sets.

    By default, WooCommerce caches six different sets of products. You can use the filter woocommerce_product_query_max_rand_cache_count to change this number.

    Hi Rodrigo,

    I see, thank you 🙂
    I wonder, how often is this cached cleared? So it shows a different set.
