 * Hi,
 * Thanks for a great plugin. The Random option is particularly helpful.
    However,
   in the latest WordPress the random option doesn’t work. I have tested with two
   different themes, including 2015, and it just reverts to the basic order.
 * Let me know if I can help with any more trouble shooting.

 * Just in case anyone else have the same issue: It was due to a function turned
   off at the host: WP Engine. Check your settings page on the WP Engine Tab in 
   the WP Dashboard, and activate the random function if you want to use the random
   option.
