I am trying to: show items in view randomly

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hamah.ch/netzwerkii

Hello,

I have tried it in my localhost with a fresh WP installation + the latest version of Toolset plugins, it works fine.

So the problem you mentioned above is abnormal, please check these:
1) Find and edit the view block you mentioned above, make sure it is using "Ordering" option: Sort by Random order.
2) In case it is a compatibility problem, please deactivate all other plugins, and switch to WordPress default theme 2021, and test again
