How randomize products display on a page using Divi theme and Woocommerce

I am doing a shop page using Divi theme and I am trying to display randomly products from a certain category.

The problem I have is that the theme does not have options to randomize the way the articles are displaying on the shop page.

I also tried a woocommerce shortcode:

[products limit="30" columns="3" category="cardigans-sweaters" cat_operator="AND" orderby="rand" order="rand"]

It worked well on desktop, but the problem is that the visual I get on mobile is not the one I want (it is one column instead of two, plus it kinda lost the CSS I did myself).

So yeah if someone knows a PHP code, or any code I could use to randomize, I would be really happy!
 
Hi erikamercier,
Welcome to CodeForum!

I know nothing about woocommerce, but it should not be too hard to write a PHP code to randomize the items that are displayed, but the exact way to do it depends on how your website works.
Other members of the forum may be able to provide a more helpful reply?

@LTomy Indeed, I think a PHP code could work! :)

Our website is www.orangefashionvillage.com

I am trying to randomize the display of the products of certain categories. Like on the page Bamboo, I want to randomize the display of products of Bamboo only, and do the same with the pages Spring and Summer, and Fall and Winter.

I am no pro in PHP, so if someone could help me with that, that would be really awesome :)

(I am new here so if my post is not to the right place, please tell me!)
 
I do no have that much experience in PHP and, again, I do not know how your website works, but here is a code 'template' that could be used to achieve what you want:
PHP:
// Number of products that can be displayed.
$nbItems = 500

// An array containing the Ids of the products that are displayed.
$productsDisplayed = array();

for($i = 0; $i < $nbItems; $i++)
{
    do
    {
        // We retrieve a random Id.
        $productId = rand(1, $nbItems);
    }
    while(in_array($productId, $productsDisplayed); // If the product is already displayed, we find an other.
 
    // We add the Id to the array of displayed products.
    $productsDisplayed[i] = $productId;
       
    /*
    Here, we display a different product in function
    of the value of 'productId'.
    */
}
