 * When I check “Randomize Testimonials” I expect that if I display only one testimonial
   via a widget, it will be a different testimonial each time. However, it is always
   the most recently added testimonial. What am I doing wrong?
 * Thank you!

 * [@hal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hal/), unfortunately, overriding rotator
   settings and selecting “Yes” from Randomize Testimonials does not display any
   change. It is still one testimonial showing.

 * Have you created a rotator or are you just doing the “All Rotators” option?
 * If you do have a rotator created, I assume you have associated multiple testimonials
   to it?

 * I do have multiple rotators created. I just tried tweaking a few more settings
   and now the widget is working. I’m not sure what changed, but I’m so glad it’s
   finally working. Thank you!

 * 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…
