[Plugin: Genesis Featured Widget Amplified] Refresh on Page Load?

Here is a thread that addresses orderby rand not working with several possible solutions. The one I find interesting is where a couple of users found that the host had disabled the rand options from working.

Nick,
Thank you so much for all of your help.
I truly appreciate that you went so far above and beyond what a plugin developer “needs” to do.

So did that resolve the issue?

Yes. I am having a problem with the custom link on the featured image, but that is separate.
Thanks again!

Cheers
