## Deskripsi

The Query Loop block in WordPress does not include a “Random” ordering option in
the sidebar UI.
 However, WordPress core _does_ support `orderby = rand` in `WP_Query`.

The problem:
 Using `"orderBy": "rand"` inside a Query Loop block can cause the **
Site Editor preview to fail**, because `rand` is not included in the REST API schema
for posts.

This plugin fixes that by extending the REST API orderby enum so the editor recognizes`"
rand"` as valid.

### ✔ What this plugin does

 * Adds `"rand"` to the REST API `orderby` enum for posts and pages.
 * Allows the Query Loop block to use `"orderBy": "rand"` safely.
 * Prevents JSON errors and broken previews in the Site Editor.
 * Makes “random post” layouts work reliably both in the editor and frontend.

### ⚠ What this plugin does _not_ do

 * It does **not** add a “Random” option to the Query Loop UI dropdown.
    (That UI
   is defined in Gutenberg’s JavaScript.)
 * You must still set `"orderBy": "rand"` manually using the Code Editor.

### Example use case

Want your homepage, blog, quotes site, testimonials, or featured-section to show
**
a different post every time the page loads?**

Install this plugin  open the template  switch to Code Editor  set `"orderBy": "
rand"`.

## Instalasi

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/random-posts-for-query-loop-block/`
    
    or install it via **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin**.
 2. Activate the plugin via **Plugins  Installed Plugins**.
 3. Open the **Site Editor** and edit a template or page containing a **Query Loop**
    block.
 4. Switch to **Code Editor**
     (top-right kebab menu  _Code editor_).
 5. Find the `wp:query` block and set:
 6. “orderBy”: “rand”

## Tanya Jawab

### Will this add a “Random” option to the Query Loop sidebar?

No. The dropdown list is defined in Gutenberg’s JavaScript and cannot be modified
by PHP alone.
 You must edit the block’s attributes in **Code Editor**.

### Does this affect frontend queries outside the block editor?

No. It only extends the REST API schema used by the editor.
 WP_Query has natively
supported `orderby = 'rand'` for many years.

### Does this slow down my website?

No extra load is added beyond core WordPress behavior.
 However, `orderby = rand`
can be heavy for very large datasets — this is true with or without this plugin.
