# Random once?

 * Hi, I like this widget a lot, it looks great with the thumbnail image. But maybe
   I misunderstand how it is supposed to work? I set it to select a random post 
   to feature. Is that featured post now permanent on a page? It seems to select
   different random posts to feature on different pages but on any given page, reloading
   it does not change the featured post like I was expecting it to. It continues
   showing the same featured post every time I load the page.
    Thanks for any advice.

 * Hello,
 * thanks for using and liking my plugin. And thanks for feedback. Unfortunately,
   since I started studying four years ago, I didn’t do anything about my plugins
   anymore. I don’t know whether something in the core of WP has changed significantly
   or whether I just have produced a bug that nobody has reported yet. I will at
   one point have a look into the code and see how I actually intended it to work.
 * Best,
    Stefan
