Hi,

Thanks, I’m glad you find it helpful.
As to your request, it is definitely a basic feature. I’ll try to add it soon, possibly this weekend. please visit the plugin again soon and check if I’ve uploaded a new version.

Hi,

Sorry, it is a good feature and I will add it soon in the next versions, but Unfortunately it is not possible for now.

I see. did you give it a try? it might work anyway if your 24 newest posts query is running before my plugin query. (should be 9 and below, in the hook call, because mine is running as the default – 10. If you know more or less what I’m talking about, maybe you can try to play with this param to change the calling time in my plugin hook or in yours.
can’t think of something else to solve it but this for now.
Hope you’ll succeed.

Hi Will,

Unfortunately The plugin doesn’t have the two order setting option for now. I’m planning to support that feature in the next version.
For now maybe you can still use the plugin for your purpose if you put a small php code just before the loop in the template page that displays your page.
It should look like this:

query_posts( 'posts_per_page=24' );
if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
.....
....
.....

You just have to put the line: query_posts( 'posts_per_page=24' );
before the line: if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
and it should work for you.

Hi,

What the plugin suppose to do is to order your posts\custom post type\pages on the front end.
It doesn’t change the date of the posts, instead it (in your case), randomize them before retrieving the list of posts from the database. by default they will return from the database ordered by date as you said, with the plugin you can choose different order to retrieve.
If you mark the random option on the setting page, then you suppose to see your posts (or any other type), on a page that display them, i.e. category page, listed on a different order on every visit (or refresh) to the page.
I hope I understood your question correctly and helped with my answer.
If you still have an issue with the plugin you are welcome to send me a link or user and password for your admin, to my mail – weiluri@gmail.com, and i’ll take a closer look.

Hi Chris,

I’ve added a new feature that you suggested. Excluding specific pages from the plugin ordering.
You’re welcome to update to the new version – 1.3.

Also…I’ll be glad if you give a good rating on the plugin page and mark it “solved” (if you see the issue as solved) 🙂
Thanks,
Uri
