    Hello
    Is is possible to randomize posts that are displayed in the new magazine elements ?
    thanks

    Hi pako69!

    Line 366 in (theme folder)/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/magazine.php

    Change the following:

    $query = array( 'orderby' => 'date',

    To this:

    $query = array( 'orderby' => 'rand',

    Note that this will be overwritten upon a theme update. Please make a note of this change during updates.

    Regards,
    Arvish

    Hey!

    No, unfortunately, it’s not possible to specify data range. Instead of modifying the magazine.php file, please add this on functions.php:

    add_filter('avf_magazine_entries_query', 'avf_magazine_entries_custom_query');

function avf_magazine_entries_custom_query ( $query ) {
$query['orderby'] = 'rand';
$query['order'] = 'DESC';
return $query;
}

    Refer to the wp codex for more order and orderby parameters.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hello @Ismael
    Great :-) Better than modifiying Enfold core files.
    I’ve found some tricks that can do what I want :

    RANDOM AND POST FROM THE CURRENT MONTH :

    add_filter('avf_magazine_entries_query', 'avf_magazine_entries_custom_query');
function avf_magazine_entries_custom_query ( $query ) {
$query['orderby'] = 'rand';
$query['order'] = 'DESC';
$current_month = date('m');
$query['monthnum'] = $current_month;
return $query;

    RANDOM AND POSTS FROM THE LAST 5 WEEKS

    add_filter('avf_magazine_entries_query', 'avf_magazine_entries_custom_query');
function avf_magazine_entries_custom_query ( $query ) {
$query['orderby'] = 'rand';
$query['order'] = 'DESC';
$query['date_query'] = array(
                            	array(
                            		'after' => '5 week ago'
                            	)
                        );
return $query;
}

    With the help of :

    and
