Hi,

1/ I add custom code php to pennews/function.php file to Random posts for Archive pages and Mega Menu: http://prntscr.com/nchdes

function penci_wpsites_query( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_category() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'orderby', 'rand' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'penci_wpsites_query' );

2/ Random posts for Mega Menu. I add custom code penci-framwork plugin / mega-menu/menu-render.php line 160 http://prntscr.com/nchdmf

$attr = array(
 'post_type'           => $post_type,
 'posts_per_page'      => $numbers,
 'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
 'orderby'             => 'rand',
  'post_status'         => 'publish',
 'tax_query'           => array(
 array(
 'taxonomy' => $tax,
 'field'    => 'id',
 'terms'    => $cat_id,
 ),
 ),
 );

Note important: please backup the code before update PenNews theme with latest version.

Please check it again,

Best Regards,

Hello,

I need to have the Category Archive pages and Mega Menus show random ordered posts each time someone goes to a page instead of the newest post first. How can I do this?

Thank you!
