I have resolved the issue – it was a conflict of plugins… I was also using the Simple Custom post order plugin, which was overriding the orderby rand..
Now using Intuitive Custom Post Order plugin, as it enables custom ordering of posts via drag and drop but doesn’t override the random order of this plugin..
Nice!
Hi,
I’ve just installed this on a client’s site where I wish to display 1 random post from a category, which on refreshing page displays a new random post from the same category: it is a series of Plant ID’s with title, thumbnail and description.
But currently it does not change on refreshing. It stays the same post.
I cannot find the above WP Engine plugin (WP Engine seems to just come up as a hosting solution?)..
I am using a Colourlib theme called Sparkling.
Here is a screenshot of the widget settings I have used: http://i62.tinypic.com/2wmfllj.png
