Tell us what you are trying to do?

I have a view to show products that are showing 8 products divided into 2 pages (4 each).
I'm trying to generate an infinite loop by setting up a random order my only problem is that I cannot set an infinite pagination.

I thought that in order of function the slider should restart once it comes to the end and since the order is set as random the effect would be the one of having many products even though they are still the same.

Dear Vito,

You can not use Views pagination with random order, it will conduct some unexpected result, for example:
page 1
- post A
- post B
- post C
- post D

Views will query the database once in each pagination, if you are using random order, it might get duplicated results, for example:
page 2
- post E
- post A
- post F
- post D

So, in your case, I suggest you disable random order, and follow our document to setup the Infinite Scrolling:
