    It doesn’t appear that random order is working. I don’t know if this is a new issue or not. Below are the pages on the site and the shortcode I have:

    http://grandlakeliving.com/boat-rentals/

    [connections id='63,121,141' order_by='id|RANDOM' enable_category_select='false' str_work_addr='Address' str_work_email='Email' str_work_phone='Phone']
    and
    [connections category='22' order_by='id|RANDOM' template='card-single' enable_category_select='false' str_work_addr='Address' str_work_email='Email' str_work_phone='Phone']

    @ Geoffrey

    Create a new user with an admin role, fake email, strong password and post the details here as a private reply.

    @ Geoffrey

    The account seems to have been setup with the subscriber role, can you edit i to be the admin role? Thanks!

    You’re all set … one very small typo!

    Keep in mind the way random is currently done is only randomizes one the hour per IP address. This means user A would see one order during the current hour while user B would see a different order during the current hour. You can test this by viewing the page on you computer and on your phone [using your mobile data connection, not wifi because that would be the same IP].

    Hope that helps!

    Your awesome. Was it a typo of mine? Don’t know if you like my site or not, but if you want to use it in your gallery that’s fine with me.

    So, I can delete that admin account, right?

    @ Geoffrey

    Definitely my typo. I fixed your installation. I’ll be releasing version 0.8.4 shortly which contains that fix so it’ll be safe to update to, just fyi.

    Yep, you can delete the account.

    Thanks, I’ll definitely list your site.

    One last thing, if you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!
