    Hello!
    Is there any way that the ad listing is random every time you enter the site or refresh the page?
    Thank you!

    Hi Pedro,

    Thanks for your post. You can use some of the random “sorting” options as explained here https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/design/gd-listings/#options to achieve what you needed there.

    Thank you very much Kor and Alex, I have investigated with the links they sent and managed to solve it with:

    add_filter(‘geodir_rand_seed’,’__return_false’); // Upon refresh

    I have a question with the following message next message, which appears with the code?
    … (Only recommended to try)
    Is there a problem using this setting?

    Thank you

    We do not recommend that you do this random refresh on every load.

    Because it is not necessary, listings will refresh every 24 hours on random settings. If you have thousands of listings, re-ordering them 20 times a second seems like a needless performance impact.

    Thanks for explaining!
    I understand that it is for performance when having thousands of publications, but I imagine that if the project is smaller, approximately 500 publications, it should not affect performance as much.

    For me, the random configuration of lists was very useful, since the idea was to show different announcements on the cover each time.

    They should consider some solution so that it can be listed randomly, without impacting performance!

    Thank you so much!
    They do a great job !!!

    Where do I add this code so that the results of listing a category are also listed randomly?

    add_filter (‘geodir_rand_seed’, ‘__ return_false’); // Al actualizar

    Currently it serves to randomly display the cover ads!

    Do you mean categories displayed with GD Categories? Or something else?
