# Random doesn’t work

 * I’m creating a new website and have been using this plugin for 6 weeks. Unfortunately,
   the random function does not work. On the start page, 3 testimonials are randomly
   displayed. Overall, I have created 33 testimonials. Nevertheless, almost always
   only the same 4-8 testimonials are displayed on the start page. Most testimonials
   are never displayed (!). Unfortunately, it also happens that two identical testimonials
   appear randomly. This should almost never happen with a total of 33 testimonials.
   Will this random bug be fixed?
    Many Thanks!

 * Hi [@handsomeapps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handsomeapps/) – I have
   exactly the same problem, [http://www.ebiss.co.uk/testimonials](http://www.ebiss.co.uk/testimonials)
   
   The same few testimonials keep displaying but there are more than these few created.
 * If random isn;t working, how do I just get it to display a list sorted by most
   recent testimonials first?
 * PLease could someone help me?

 * Hi thanks for the note on this. That’s strange as I thought we already put out
   a fix for this issue. We’ll take another look.
 * Thanks!

 * We have upgraded to Pro to try and fix this and just ghet a list showing but 
   cannot figure out what I need to change. Please could you point me to some instructions
   on how to do this? Can I manually dictate what order the testimonials appear?
   Thanks

    Don’t worry – I have figured this one out now and have them just
   as a list in the order I want them…. however, I now need help resizing the preview
   images (we have used customer logos) and they look fine when you click into the
   individual testimonials (I have them set to small) , but the preview page makes
   them much larger and loses definition – can I default the preview images to small
   as well?
