Hi, there,
the portfolios are now random, all right.

Problem: Repeats individual portfolios on other pages. I find some portfolios on pages 1 and 2 and…some repeat themselves.

Random should work in updating the page, not when I change pages in the same portfolio, it is useless.

Thank you, I would need your help.

Hi @PANCRAZIO,

That’s how WP_Query works with random order with pagination, the reason for that is because of every page load, it randomized the query. When you click another page, it loads the page will then retrigger the random query. In summary, it renews the query for every page load and that’s how Wordpress works. It doesn’t happen on alphabetical or date order since it has a permanent index/position than a random order.

The solution you’ll looking is complex and would require custom development. You’ll have to create a single query and do the paging on that single query (no page loading) using ajax pagination. That ensures the pagination only works on already queried items.

Thanks!
