    Hello team Kriesi!

    I am having some issues with the random feature on a portfolio gallery. The gallery is set to load randomly, but it loads in the same order every time.

    Here is the page it is happening on – http://wainhouse.wpengine.com/ (hosted on WPengine)

    Any idea what would be causing this or how I can fix it? Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hey!

    I’m sorry but I’m not sure why the “orderby” option is not working. I tried to filter the query in the functions.php file but no dice. Did you modify any of the theme files or did you filter the query? This is the code in the functions.php file:

    //portfolio query
add_filter( 'avia_post_grid_query', 'avia_post_grid_query_mod', 10, 2);
function avia_post_grid_query_mod( $query, $params ) {
	$query['orderby'] = 'rand';
	return $query;
}

    Cheers!

    Hello Ismael,

    I have not made any modifications to the theme files or filtering query’s. This is a pretty stock instal of the Enfold theme with almost no plugins installed. How can we resolve this?

    Hi,

    There might be some corrupted files, so please delete all theme files completely via FTP, before installing a fresh copy from your themeforest account. Here is a short tutorial on how to install the theme via FTP, in case you are not sure how that works:

    Install Enfold over FTP

    Best regards,

    Hi!

    I tested the settings on my own installation and it’s working. Please post the FTP details here so that we can inspect the issue carefully.

    Cheers!

    Hi,

    I found out that this is a wpengine issue. Please check this thread.

    // https://wordpress.org/support/topic/my-cpt-all-migrated-but-theyre-in-a-different-order-on-the-front-end/?replies=3

    Normally we disable ORDER BY RAND() orderings in MySQL queries because this is a big no-no for large databases which we’ve seen cause massive slow-downs for dozens of our customers. However, you can enable it if you know what you’re doing, for example if you cache the results for 5-15 minutes so that you’re not pummeling the database with these slow queries.

    I enabled the Allow ORDER BY RAND() option in the WP Engine’s dashboard and it’s working now.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    That’s great. Thank you so much. Of course it was something simple…

    Thanks again for a great theme and great support.
