Tutorial

1. Locate the Code for Post Ordering

In your Sngine application, navigate to the file

includes/class-user.php.

Find the line of code that controls the order of posts. around line 7191:

$order_query = "ORDER BY posts.post_id DESC";

This line ensures posts are shown in descending order (newest first).

2. Modify the Code to Allow Random Ordering

Replace the line above with the following code:

$order_query = !empty($args['random']) && $args['random'] ? "ORDER BY posts.post_id DESC" : "ORDER BY RAND()";

3. Save and Test

• Save the changes to class-user.php.

• Refresh the page and confirm that posts are displayed in a random order every time you refresh.

By modifying the $order_query, you control how posts are ordered in the feed. Using ORDER BY RAND() ensures a different order every time the page is refreshed, creating a dynamic and engaging user experience
