Randomize Users

Question

I'm trying to randomly display my users and I was wondering if I could edit the answer on this page to suit my needs (multiple users instead of a single user): Sidebar random author spotlight

Here's my code (I can easily switch to WP_user_query if need be)

<?php
    $args = array(
        'fields' => 'all_with_meta',
        'exclude' => array(1),
    );
    $users = get_users( $args );
foreach( $users as $user ) { ?>

Answer 1

I don't see an "orderby Rand()" parameter for either get_users or WP_User_Query. There is a filter called pre_user_query that could be used but I am not sure I see the benefit of that when shuffle will randomize the array you already have.

$args = array(
    'fields' => 'all_with_meta',
    'exclude' => array(1),
);
$users = get_users( $args );
shuffle($users);
var_dump($users);
