Product display order

Hi @umberto69

Thanks for reaching out!

I understand that you want to sort your products randomly on your site.

I did some research and found these articles could be a good starting point:

• WooCommerce – Show Random Products
• Random Product Sorting with?Pagination

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the valuable information. I’ve used the following code in code snippets, and it works great!

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'shop_default_orderby_rand' );
function shop_default_orderby_rand( $query ) {
    if ( is_shop() && ( ! isset($_GET['orderby']) || 'menu_order' === $_GET['orderby'] ) ) {
        $query->set( 'orderby', 'rand' );
    }
}

Greetings

Hello @umberto69,

Thank you for sharing the solution with the community. ??

I will go ahead and mark the thread as solved for now. Please feel free to open a new one if you have any other questions.

Cheers!

HI,
I noticed that when loading the other pages of the shop, I see products that I have seen in the previous pages and that some products are not displayed. This is because random items are displayed on a single page and not on the whole shop.
I don’t know how to fix this, do you have any suggestions?
Thank you

Hi,

I see products that I have seen in the previous pages and that some products are not displayed.

Can you provide a screenshot of the issue on your end, please? You can use https://snipboard.io to send screenshot links in this forum.

...?I wish visitors could see them randomly or the new ones first

To me, that sounds like you would like to display the new arrivals first, one option is to create a new arrivals section:

• Displaying new products and arrivals in WooCommerce

Another alternative is to show product badges, one of them could be the new arrival badge, that way your customers will be able to identify the new arrival products better, more info is below:

• Product Badges (This is a premium extension that provides a 30-days money-back guarantee plan).

I hope this points you in the right direction.

HI,
no, i don’t need the product badges and i don’t need the latest uploaded products to be shown.
I need the products to show randomly. I have tried all the code snippets you provided above. I managed to show them randomly, but only on the single page. When I go to the next page, some of the products shown on the previous page are shown.
I need visitors to be shown products randomly across the entire pagination.
For the screenshot see HERE
I hope I made myself clear.

Thank you!
