WordPress – Arras Theme – Randomize order of posts in featured slideshow

Are you tired of seeing the same post always appear first in the “featured slideshow” of the Arras theme ?

Has the sequence of images in the “featured slideshow” of the Arras theme become too familiar ?

Then you might want to apply this tweak:

1. find and open home.php under /wp-content/themes/arras-theme
2. find line 30 or whatever line contains this text: “$q = new WP_Query( apply_filters(‘arras_slideshow_query’, $query) );“
3. add this statement in the next line: shuffle($q->posts);
4. That’s it !
