설명

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".

FAQ

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.
