Ah, I see, thanks for the explanation. Well if randomising the first 100 is all that’s possible with a hook, I’ll take it. If that hook is not too much trouble it would be well worth it to have access to. Thanks for your very fast responses. Appreciate it.

That all makes sense, and I’m definitely not trying to make more work for you. The idea I had was to initiate the fetch from Google Photos with a randomised page number (say between 0-9) and then randomise the returned set of images before outputting. It’s for a specific use case we have. If adding a hook which might expose the ability to specify the requested page/batch number, it would be great. Then it would provide a closer approximation to randomisation. Thanks in advance.

Hi Sayontan, thanks for getting back to me.

Is there perhaps a hook in your plugin I can use to get access to the list of images returned from Google, prior to it being displayed on the front? I might be able to write it into an array, shuffle() it and then return the randomised array to then be written to the front-end.

I.e. not relying on the provider to randomise, but doing it locally after the images have been retrieved.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Hi Guys,

That seems to have fixed the problem.

Thanks for the update.
