 * I just tried installing the plugin and when I made and saved the settings I wanted(
   show 5 posts, from selected categories) the plugin shows the 5 most recent posts.
 * I need it to select randomly not the most recent. What am I missing? Please and
   thanks for assistance.

 * Hi,
    Do you use any post type related plugin? The problem sometimes comes from
   another plugin which controls post order.
