Hi there – Just tested on WP 6.1 and everything’s working fine. You may have a plugin or theme conflict that only came to light under WP 6?

RG is just a simple frontend for WP’s Gallery shortcode. You can read all about Gallery here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Gallery_Shortcode

Your shortcode looks fine. Since it works on desktop, the issue is most likely an issue with your theme.

Hi @aolaru – I would need to see your shortcode. It should look very similar to this: [random-gallery ids='101,102,103,104,105' shownum='3']

Hi @aolaru – Random Gallery doesn’t really have the capability to do anything differently on desktop vs mobile. I think the issue may be caused by your theme. Can you please share your random-gallery shortcode?

Hi @frankie8 – I’m very glad you like Random Gallery!

Those are very cool ideas, but a bit beyond the scope of our simple little plugin. Maybe one day!

Hi @ebuege – Sorry for the late response. Random Gallery can handle the ordinary Gallery shortcode parameters type, columns, size, and link. For details, please see https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/random-gallery/

To remove the link, add link=’none’ to your shortcode, like this:

[random-gallery category='myCategory' shownum='3' link='none']

Thanks for trying Random Gallery!

Hi @stephenkrem – Thanks for trying out Random Gallery. Sorry you’re having trouble with it.

I’m not able to reproduce the behavior you’re seeing. On every browser and OS I’ve tried, Random Gallery returns a random set of images on every ‘normal’ refresh.

I’d like to help make sure it works for you, too. A few thoughts:
– It sounds like it’s not an issue with your shortcode.
– Can you please tell me what browser and OS you’re using?
– Does your site happen to use a caching plugin?

Thanks!

Hi @lawdreen – It definitely works, but there can be issues. Please post your shortcode so we can try to get it working for you.

Random Gallery is just a standard WP Gallery under the hood. If [gallery ... columns='4'] doesn’t work on your site, then [random-gallery … columns=’4′] won’t work either.

The first thing I’d try is temporarily turning off your other plugins one at a time to see if one of them is conflicting with the WP Gallery.

It’s possible something else on the site is interfering with the columns parameter. Please try a standard gallery shortcode with columns. e.g.

[gallery ids='4829, 4830, 4831, 4832, 4833, 4834, 4835, 4836' columns='4' size='medium']

Hi @budruid – Your shortcode looks pretty good, but I updated it below with a few tweaks.
– I removed the spaces around the equals signs and
– I re-typed all of the quotes. You may have to do this again in the WP editor (please refer to the “curly quotes issue” on the plugin homepage).

Hopefully that solves it. If not, please let me know.

[random-gallery ids=’4829, 4830, 4831, 4832, 4833, 4834, 4835, 4836, 4837, 4838, 4839, 4840, 4841, 4842, 4843, 4844, 4845, 4846, 4847, 4848, 4849, 4850, 4851, 4852, 4853, 4854, 4855, 4856, 4857, 4858′ shownum=’4′ columns=’4′ size=’medium’]

Hi jdemeyer – Sorry for the late response. Yes, you can use the columns parameter. Here’s an example:
[random-gallery ids="11,12,13,14,15,16,17" shownum="4" columns="2" size="medium"]
