Random Gallery

Screenshots

Give Random Gallery a list of photos and a number. It will pick that number of photos randomly from your list and send them off to a normal gallery. It works great with Jetpack’s Tiled Galleries. The easiest way to use Random Gallery is to insert a normal gallery into your page. Be sure to select all of the photos you want Random Gallery to draw from. In the editor, you’ll see something like this: [gallery ids=”1,2,3,5,8,13,21″] Then, all you have to do is change “gallery” to “random-gallery” and add shownum to the end, like this: [random-gallery ids=”1,2,3,5,8,13,21″ shownum=”3″] You can also use the standard WP Gallery options: type, columns, size, and link. In this example, there are seven photos in the list, but only three will be shown at a time. There’s nothing too fancy under the hood, so Random Gallery is pretty much future proof. Check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks!
