Random Posts is not really Random

    Hi – I am using the Flexible Posts Widget in a sidebar, and have the “order posts by” set to “random” – in other widgets I have used this means that it rotates through the posts, and displays a different one every page you go to. On FPW, it just picks one post and then displays that every time. Is it just me or is this not really random? Is there a way to change this?

    If you look at the Genesis version of this, Featured Widget Amplified, when you set it on “Random” it keeps throwing up a different random post. I would recommend this for this widget as well.

    Thanks much!
