Hey,

is it possible to change the Sidebar News Widget so it will display random posts/images of the defined category instead of sorting them by date (which is the actual behavior)?

Thanks in advance

Hey,
you can open up habitat>framework>theme_widgets>sidebar_news.php and find:
$additional_loop = new WP_Query("cat=".$cat."&posts_per_page=".$count);
replace it by:
$additional_loop = new WP_Query("cat=".$cat."&orderby=rand&posts_per_page=".$count);
