Random Order not working

  • This plugin is great in every way and exactly fills my need, except for the fact that the random order function doesn’t seem to be working. I have the random order selected in the dropdown menu and have tried the second dropdown with ascending and descending and neither works. I have it set to show 2 posts, and it always shows my newest post and then flips back and forth between my second and third posts. It never shows any of my older posts. I am not using a caching plugin. I am using it on the sidebar of this page https://communitycapitalny.org/about-ccny/ and it is titled “Success Stories”. Any ideas? Thanks!

    I figured out that another plugin, Post Order Type was the problem.
    I ended up adding this line:
    remove_all_filters('posts_orderby');
    right before this block:

    echo $before_widget;
			if ( $title ) {
				echo $before_title;
				if ( $title_link ) echo "<a href='$title_link'>";
				echo $title;
				if ( $title_link ) echo "</a>";
				echo $after_title;
			}

    and it worked perfectly.
