 * hello!
    I’ve been looking at this support forum and found someone else also had
   an issue with random buttons, which wasn’t resolved. I also have a problem, but
   different in nature.
 * site: [It’s The Tie!](http://itsthetie.com)
 * Right now the random button redirects to the latest comic most of the time, and
   some of the time to an outdated url for a comic whose title has since been changed.
   I updated Jetpack and permalinks. the issue persists.
    In fact, i also downloaded
   a plugin that generates random redirects from a custom URL ( it would enable 
   me to get a random button in the menu up top, not ideal, but something ) and 
   the results are exactly the same.
 * it seems that the database it gets its url’s from is incomplete and outdated.
 * any way to fix this?
 * thanks!

 * Hi, I may have missed it, but I’m not seeing any random button on your site. 
   It may be that I’m just tired. 🙂

 * you’re right, there wasn’t a random button because i hid it.
    put it back to 
   test the issue, it’s the small black button on the navigation bar

 * Hi there – could you try refreshing your permalink structure by going to Settings
   > Permalinks, and resaving the current structure without making changes? Sometimes
   this helps resolve issues with the comics (and other) custom post type. Let me
   know if this works. Thanks.
