masonry gallery – how to sort by random

Hi Stefan!

If you want to use the “load more” button or the pagination you can’t sort the images randomly because wordpress would query/show the same images over and over again. If you do not use a pagination or load more button use this code and insert it at the bottom of functions.php:

add_filter('avia_masonry_entries_query', 'avia_random_image_query', 10, 2);
function avia_random_image_query($query, $params)
{
    if(!empty($query['post_mime_type']) && $query['post_mime_type'] == 'image')
    {
        $query['orderby'] = "rand";
    }

    return $query;
}

for a random sort order.

Best regards,
Peter
