Feature Request: Provide opition to select at random from a selection of images

Helo Jackalope Co,

Sorry for the late replay I was unavailable.
Do you mean a random image. You can achieve this by the following code.

function dfi_random_image ( $dfi_id, $post_id ) {

	$image_ids = array (
		3, // list of image id's
		4, // list of image id's
		5, // list of image id's
		6, // list of image id's
	);

	return $image_ids[array_rand($image_ids)];
}

add_filter( 'dfi_thumbnail_id', 'dfi_random_image', 10 , 2 );

I’m afraid if I add this as a buildin feature the plugin will be more complicated to use.

Hey @janwoostendorp

Thanks for replying. Does that just pick a random image from the media library or does it pick one from the post?

I had an array of images I wanted to use as filer backgrounds that were saved to my theme. I could also upload them, but wasn’t sure how the code you included here for the function.php file would work with it? Do I upload them and then specify the image ids in the code?

Yes, the way featured images work is that they require an media/image ID.
So the best way is upload them. Grab the ID’s and put them in the code.
