Random Header Image

  • I have a collection of header images and I’m trying to have it so that it loads a random one whenever a page is loaded. I’ve had a look for plugins to do this but I can’t find one to do what I want. I’ve found ones to change images at a set time interval but that’s not quite what I’m after. Does anyone have a plugin/hack to allow me to do this?

    Also (this may be the wrong place to ask this) I want my homepage to have some fixed text and video on but to also have a frame with the latest news post in it, and the news page to be on a separate page. I’m not quite sure how to do this as I don’t have much experience with wordpress and at the moment the news posts are on the homepage, but I can’t seem to find a page to just move somewhere else anywhere.

    If any of you can help with either of these issues I’d be very grateful. As you may be able to tell I’m fairly new to wordpress so forgive me if I’ve asked any stupid questions here

    Thanks

  • all this will depend on your currently used theme.

    OK, I’m using Albizia at the moment. Is it easiest to try to find a theme which will do what I want (is one likely to exist, and if so does anyone have any tips for searching through the hundreds of themes?) or try to hack the current one to get it to do what I want?

    I’ve managed to make the header images rotate using the rotator.php here https://www.jakeldaily.com/wordpress-rotating-header-images-no-plugins/ (though not with each page load which is a little annoying but I can live with it), but I’m still stuck with the front page issue. Does anyone have any more info about how I might achieve this please?

    Thanks
