FX random image

Plugin displays random image from attached images to page or post.

<p>Random Gallery lets you display a different subset of your images every time your page is refreshed. Just tell it which ones you want it to pick from and how many you want to show at a time.</p>
<h4>The Basics</h4>
<p>Random Gallery works with an old fashioned shortcode. You specify the pool of images with the <code>ids</code> or <code>category</code> parameter. Then you specify how many you want to show with the <code>shownum</code> parameter.</p>
<p>Here’s an example of the <code>ids</code> method:</p>
<pre><code>[random-gallery ids='101,102,103,104,105' shownum='3']
</code></pre>
<p>Note there are five images in the list but only three will be shown at a time.</p>
<p>And here is an example of the <code>category</code> method:</p>
<pre><code>[random-gallery category='myCategory' shownum='3']
</code></pre>
<p>Random Gallery can handle the ordinary Gallery shortcode parameters <code>columns</code>, <code>size</code>, and <code>link</code>:</p>
<pre><code>[random-gallery category='myCategory' shownum='3' columns='1' size='medium' link='none']
</code></pre>
<p>You can put shortcodes in all kinds of blocks, but it’s best to use the shortcode widget.</p>
<h4>ids method details</h4>
<p>The <code>ids</code> parameter is the list of images you want to draw from. To build up the list, you need the numbers that WordPress assigns to each of your images.</p>
<p>There are plugins that let you see these numbers directly in the Media Library. Try searching the plugins directory for “reveal ids”.</p>
<p>Otherwise, you can find them manually:</p>
<ul>
<li>open up your Media Library</li>
<li>click on a photo</li>
<li>the Attachment Details will pop up</li>
<li>the URL in your address bar will look like this: <code>https://www.example.com/wp-admin/upload.php?item=101</code></li>
<li>take the number at the end of the URL (in this case 101) and add that number to <code>ids</code></li>
<li>repeat this process for each photo you want to include</li>
</ul>
<h4>category method</h4>
<p>By default, categories are not available in the Media Library. However, there are plugins that will enable them. Try searching the plugins directory for “media library categories”.</p>
<p>Once you have categories enabled, you can create a category, add images to it, and specify it in the shortcode by name.</p>
<h3>Curly Quotes Issue</h3>
<p>One tricky thing to watch out for is curly quotation marks. WordPress likes to replace straight quotes (<code>'</code>) with curly quotes (‘). This is usually a good thing, but Random Gallery can only handle straight quotes.</p>
<p>The easiest and best way to make sure you’re only using straight quotes is to put your shortcode in a shortcode widget, then re-type all the quotes directly in the widget.</p>
