Display pages in blocks randomly

Hi there,

What I would like to achieve is the following:

Create a block, for example Block Type 3, with 3 ‘posts’ from a category. Every refresh of the site it should display 3 different pages (so no posts, just pages). Unfortunately I cannot get this to work because when I select ‘Random posts’ under Sort order while I have Post type: page it is still displaying posts, although I declare just page. Also when I try page, -post it still display posts.

Please note that I use a extra plugin so I can add categories to pages so it will allow me to make an extra selection on that.

Regardless of that it seems that selecting Random Posts under Sort order overrides all other filter options you may select / enter. Can you please look into that and advise?

Hi

Please make sure that you’re using the last theme version, V 2.3.5, which support custom post types and that filter works fine: http://screencast.com/t/KTQxkiwmjhttp://screencast.com/t/TySiHALTYW I am not sure what plugin you’re using to add categories to pages and how this plugin will work with our theme. You can try only with basic theme configuration, the theme + Visual Composer, set in block settings the custom post type as page, and the display filter as random and at every refresh should display a new page in that block.

Thanks!
