 * Hal, are there any issues with the latest version of WP and the current version
   of the Testimonials Rotator?
 * Have looked at all of the screen shots from this thread and the other thread 
   that had the same topic (just Gretchen) and none of the suggestions allow my 
   testimonials to randomly appear. Starts with same one each time and follows the
   same order.
 * Created and named a Rotator
    Need to use it as a Widget Also tried this Shortcode
   on a page [testimonial_rotator id=”434″ shuffle=”true”] which did not randomize
 * Using Lonform
    Have Randomize Testimonials in Editor Attached to Rotator in Testimonial
   Also Override Rotator Settings with Yes in Randomize Testimonial drop down list
 * Tried leaving the Testimonial order 0, and also tried re-ordering them to see
   if it would change (it did not have any affect)
 * Am I missing anything?
 * Oddly, I had tried another testimonial widget plugin and did not like the limited
   settings and that one also would not randomize. Settled on yours, really want
   it to work because I like the horizontal flip!
 * Oddly, removing the Randomize check and editing the order will make them play
   in the order 1,2,3,4…
 * As soon as I re-check Randomize it plays in Testimonial ID order 435,436,437…

 * It seems to be working on my testing site. The code says the parameter needs 
   to be “1”
 * [testimonial_rotator id=”434″ shuffle=”1″]
 * Perhaps give that a try. Also do you have any caching plugins installed that 
   may be caching the query?
