 * Neither of the randomize features are working on the latest version of the plugin.
   If I roll back the main easy-testimonials.php file to 1.31.12, it’s fine. Any
   ideas?

 * Hey Mickmel!
 * In the most recent version, we updated the Randomize feature to use the random
   order parameter in WP Query, instead of a slower method by which we loaded all
   testimonials, generated random numbers, and picked them.
 * On WP Engine, that we know of specifically, Random Queries are disabled by default.
 * If you are on WP Engine, go to your WP Engine Advanced Settings, from your WordPress
   Dashboard, and look for a checkbox with a label and description mentioning disabling
   Random or Rand() – if you toggle this setting the issue should resolve.
 * Can you let me know if the above sounds relevant to your issue?
 * All the best,
    Richard
