    I use portfolio grid 1 column 1 entry and I have to show only one random item for page load , I choose the order ‘random’ from options list, but the item is always the same. I exclude pagination option, and I try insert new filter in my child them functions.php, but the result is always the same.

    How have to do for show 1 random item? thanks

    Hey ttnka,

    Can you give us temporary admin access to your website in the private content box below, so that we can have a closer look?

    Hi,

    Is the site hosted on wpengine? Please refer to this link for a possible fix.

    Hi,

    I see. Thank you for the info. Where do you host the site? Please ask your hosting provider if they allow “ORDER BY RAND()” in the MySQL queries.

    that snippet here: Link gives you the oportunity to set up on alb element the sort option BUT!

    read the warning on random option on the bottom:

    [alert style=”danger”]Attention – if you use the “Random” sort option do not use it in combination with the “pagination” setting. Otherwise you risk that the user just sees the same posts over and over again because wordpress doesn’t know which posts were used on the other pages.[/alert]

    but if you only want to show 1 Item – pagination makes no sense

    Or try this in documentation: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/change-the-sort-order-of-portfolio-elements/

    function custom_post_grid_query($query)
{
	$query['orderby'] = 'rand';
	return $query;
}
add_filter('avia_post_grid_query','custom_post_grid_query');
