I have selected random posts in the slider setup, however it still rotates ignoring the choice. URL is http://Regency.com

You can see the list on the left sidebar from the posts and the order is the same.

I am using a plugin called “Post Types Order” which allows you to drag and drop to eorder your posts. I use to alphabetize the list.

Any ideas why this won’t randomize?

Everything is up to date on current versions.

Try disabling the Post Types Order plugin to see if it’s a conflict with the plugin.

It works when I disable Post Types Order plugin.

I really need the ability to arrange the posts in Alphabetical order though, so any suggestions of other plugins which can do this and still randomize? I don’t want to change publish dates, would take too long and when others are added, it would be bad.

If there is a conflict, then maybe renaming some function or variable in the theme or plugin?

Any ideas Please? I love the theme but so far have found a couple of other plugins that don’t function eith this theme but do fine with the standard WP themes 2010, 2011, etc.

THANKS!!!!!

No, because it’s not a naming conflict. Basically, the plugin is overriding the parameters that the theme passes to WordPress when fetching the posts for the slider.

There may be a way to prevent the plugin from overriding the parameters, but you’ll need a child theme to try it. Create a child theme first and then post back here when you’ve done it.

Ok, I now have it running on a child theme

Create a functions.php in your child theme’s folder. Then, add this code:

<?php

function graphene_custom_slider_args( $args ){

$args['suppress_filters'] = 1;

return $args;

}

add_filter( 'graphene_slider_args', 'graphene_custom_slider_args' );

I added it to the function.php file in the child template. Still does not work.

Here is the code in that file:

<?php

/**

* VTRGraphene functions and definitions added to Graphene template

*/



function favicon_link() {

echo '<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico" />' . "n";

}

add_action('wp_head', 'favicon_link');



function graphene_custom_slider_args( $args ){

$args['suppress_filters'] = 1;

return $args;

}

add_filter( 'graphene_slider_args', 'graphene_custom_slider_args' );

?>

Put code in between backtick (

Sorry, but I don’t understand what you mean. I copied your code exactly and pasted it. Can you reexplain it in different words or an example? THANKS!

In that case, try asking the plugin author if there’s any way to exclude certain custom WP_Query calls from the plugin, as he’s much more familiar with the code plugin’s code.
