Hi Mark, I didn’t see your answer before I replied, but thank you!

I believe this is a different issue now. One my old site, the order is random every time you refresh. On my migrated site, it’s ordered oldest to newest. I found a function that is supposed to randomize the order. It works on one site and not the new one, WPEngine.

global $wp_query;

$paged = $wp_query->query_vars['page'] ? $wp_query->query_vars['page'] : get_query_var('paged');

remove_all_filters('posts_orderby');

$search_array = array(

	'post_type' => 'inventory',

	'post_status' => isset($atts['post_status'])?$atts['post_status']:'publish',

	'pagename' => '',

	'name' => '',

	'page_id' => '',

	'p' => '',

	'paged' => $paged,

	'posts_per_page' => $_GET['posts_per_page'],

	'orderby' => 'rand'

);

I’m going to start a new thread but I will update this one with whatever I find.

Under Export Post Types it says: No post types registered yet.

I’ve never had this problem before – I’ve used the plugin on a few other sites and it’s worked great. This is the first time I’m using Bluehost. I have the following plugins, I don’t think any of them would be a conflict though: Askimet, iThemes Security. Any known issues with those?

Thanks

Hi again,

I waited a few minutes, was that long enough? I saw some scripts had been run but I didn’t see a progress bar or any indication it was still running or had finished running, so I wasn’t sure and ran the tests.

Hi Joey,

I appreciate all the info! I do have a child theme set up however. Sorry for not being clear with my question, I realize now it was very general. What I mean to ask, more specifically:

1. is it OK to have a <script> tag in this file or should I create a function in functions.php for this?
2. Should I even be using JavaScript or should it be PHP?
3. If it’s better to have this chunk of js somewhere else, what is the best way to include it in PHP without having to render the JavaScript within the HTML?

I hope that makes sense.

Hi Joey,

Thanks for the suggestion. You were right. I placed the code lower in the file and appended the checkboxes to my “check-boxes” div.

But is there a better way to do this? Is it OK that it’s all in one file?

Wow thank you for the awesome and detailed response. It’s clear you weighed a ton of pros and cons. I noticed that the products in your store are in an iframe. Does this effect your SEO/ranking at all?
