 * I have many SRP widgets on the same page. All but one are using setting to display
   latest posts. On one widget I’d like to show 1 post randomly from all the posts
   in the category. The setting Randomly is On, but it doesn’t work. I am always
   getting the last one. [My site](http://www.taiji-zlatipetelin.si/en/)
    Today 
   it is showing the post ‘The secret of taijiquan’. Any suggestion, please?

 * This beacuse the random option work within the “recent” posts you set. It’s not
   a random option within all posts in a category.
    NExt version will include this
   option too.
