    Hello,

    I need to have the Category Archive pages and Mega Menus show random ordered posts each time someone goes to a page instead of the newest post first. How can I do this?

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    1/ I add custom code php to pennews/function.php file  to Random posts for Archive pages and Mega Menu: http://prntscr.com/nchdes

    function penci_wpsites_query( $query ) {
        if ( $query->is_category() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
            $query->set( 'orderby', 'rand' );
        }
    }
    add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'penci_wpsites_query' );

    2/ Random posts for  Mega Menu. I add custom code penci-framwork plugin / mega-menu/menu-render.php line  160 http://prntscr.com/nchdmf

    $attr = array(
     'post_type'           => $post_type,
     'posts_per_page'      => $numbers,
     'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
     'orderby'             => 'rand',
      'post_status'         => 'publish',
     'tax_query'           => array(
     array(
     'taxonomy' => $tax,
     'field'    => 'id',
     'terms'    => $cat_id,
     ),
     ),
     );

    Note important: please backup the code before update PenNews theme with latest version.

    Please check it again,


    Best Regards,

    PenciDesign
