    Hi there,

    I have bought the WP Advert with full ad ons, but i am not sure if it can do what i want on my website.
    I have a few questions.
    My ads are on the 2 and 3 page in my menu and i would like to have 2 blocks on my homepage, one with the latest ad and one with random choosen ad. So that visitors see on my homepage what my website is about. Can i realise that with a shortcode? Do you have that?

    I really hope so, if not , then my other questions are not relevant, then i would need to choose an other plugin. Thanks, best regards, Deborah

    Hi,
    to have on the homepage two blocks with ads list one with for example 5 latest ads and one with 5 random ads you would need to add to the page 2 shortcode blocks and use the following shortcodes

    Latest Ads

    
[adverts_list search_bar="disabled" show_pagination="0" posts_per_page="5" order_by="date-desc"]

    Random Ads

    
[adverts_list search_bar="disabled" show_pagination="0" posts_per_page="5" order_by="rand"]

    By default the [adverts_list] does not support random order, so you would additionally need to add in your theme functions.php the code below to allow sorting by random order

    
add_filter( "adverts_list_query", function( $args, $params ) {
    if( isset( $params["order_by"] ) && $params["order_by"] == "rand" ) {
        $args["orderby"] = "rand";
    }
    return $args;
}, 10, 2 );

    Thank you so much for your answer!
    Now i know that it is possible to realise it, that is very important for me, i am not sure i can do the job, but then i can ask my developer to do it.
    Thanks again, great!
