• Presently, I have four banners set to Randomize. Is there a way to make them rotate, say every 7-8 seconds?

    Unfortunately, the randomize function for WordPress doesn’t have that ability; rather, it does it only on the page refresh or each time that page is visited.

    The only other method for a rotating banner would be to use a slider/banner plugin.

    Thank you, Andre. Can you mention one that would work for Alurra?
    My next job is based on whether I can figure this out. I have been instructed to purchase the pro version of the theme and the plugin if it will work.
    Happy days! ??

    I’ve never used any “image rotator plugins” per se, but have used sliders in the past. I would suggest checking out the Smart Slider 3 plugin; probably overkill for what you might want, but I know this is a good one. I just loaded this into my local test site with Alurra and seems to work, although it might take a bit of time to get used to the tons of options and settings. I noticed that it comes with several free slide-styled layouts. **There is a pro version, but I think the free one would work just as well.

    When using this, it has a widget you can simply drop into the “banner” sidebar position. If you don’t want this on all pages, check out my article about showing widgets on select pages:

    Show or Hide Widgets on Select Pages

    As for alternate slider (Carousel) plugins, I did a WordPress Plugins search with the keyword: Carousel

    You can check out the others that show up.

    Read through reviews and see what people are saying…every slider will have good and bad issues.
