Thanks for your reply Jose.
I was hoping this was simple enough.. I’ve been working a lot with CMS Made Simple and it’s very simple there to limit the amount of images shown from a gallery and display them randomly… I was hoping it was just as easy to do in WordPress.
I’ll have a look if it is possible to limit the page size (i.e. number of thumbnails) in a gallery and don’t display the pagination. This would be a crude way of getting the same thing.
