Random posts in category pages and in tag pages

In order to have the content display random in the TAG page, you need to add to tag.php before post loop the following code:

[php]<?php
$paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1;
$current_tag = get_query_var( ‘tag’ );
$args = array(
‘orderby’ => ‘rand’,
‘tag’ => $current_tag,
‘paged’ => $paged,
);
query_posts($args);
?>[/php]

In order to have the content display random in the CATEGORY page, you need to add to category.php before post loop the following code:

[php]<?php
$paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1;
$current_cat = get_query_var( ‘cat’ );
$args = array(
‘orderby’ => ‘rand’,
‘cat’ => $current_cat,
‘paged’ => $paged,
);
query_posts($args);
?>[/php]
