| Aug 7, 2015 at 20:20 | comment | added | birgire | I added the 4th method, in the case the featured ids are sliced down before being cached. There are other possibilities but they require more theme-info or customized solutions, so I stop now, hopefully it helps ;-) @vega | |

| Aug 7, 2015 at 19:38 | comment | added | birgire | We should keep the language polite here ;-) Finally I provide you with the third method, that might help randomize all featured post ids. @vega | |

| Aug 7, 2015 at 19:17 | comment | added | vega | Now I remember, why I tried to hook directly into the function. Shit. :( In other words it randomises only the newest 4 featured posts and not all of those, having the tag to get into featured posts. | |
| Aug 7, 2015 at 19:16 | comment | added | vega | Oh, great, man, that seems to work now, BUT there is a big "flaw": It does shuffle always only the 4 ones, that are shown, but there are like 20 featured posts and I guess, this solution randomises only the output (4 featured posts) instead of the whole featured posts. :\ | |
| Aug 7, 2015 at 19:10 | comment | added | birgire | I modified the priority for the second method @vega | |

| Aug 7, 2015 at 18:55 | comment | added | vega | Nice idea. I tried that, but does not work, it seems, after testing with STRG + F5. | |

I updated the answer with another (untested) option, that you could add to your functions.php file, to test @vega

| Aug 7, 2015 at 18:39 | comment | added | vega | Okay, I found that line in inc/featured-content.php within the original/mother theme. If I change the code there, it will be gone on the next update. If I duplicate this directory and file to the child theme, it does not work, I believe. I tried it last week with a different issue. | |
| Aug 7, 2015 at 18:31 | comment | added | vega | Thank you very much for helping, but I am not so sure, where to find "Featured_Content::get_featured_posts():". In the child theme there was no file having that code inserted. | |
