    Hi there,

    I’m thinking of purchasing the advanced version but need to know the following things.

    I have a archive-product.php page with a custom query. I expect the posts to be in a different order every time I reload my archive page but not to show duplicates as I move through the pages.

    If I set orderby = “menu_order” and then set the ordering as random in the plugin settings can I expect it to do what I need?

    Thank you,
    Tom

    Hi,

    The functionality you looking for can be achieved using the advanced plugin version, however there’s a thing to clarify: Is not quite possible to return a different order while you reload the archive page, imagine you navigate through the subpages (e.g. 2, 3) if the code change the order of all archive objects, is impossible to prevent an item which you views on a page (e.g. 1) to appear again on another page (e.g. 4).
    But you can randomize the order from time to time, to prevent duplicates across pages, here’s an article which explains on how to do that along the advanced version http://www.nsp-code.com/randomize-a-sort-every-two-hours-or-a-custom-defined-interval/

    Thanks
