  • I did something similar : have a look at my site : https://www.razziphoto.com – is this what you want??

    That looks really great, what plugins did you use to get that?

    I used the random_exerpt plugin https://www.w-a-s-a-b-i.com/archives/2004/05/27/wordpress-random-posts-plugin/

    And my excerpt contains the thumbnail version of my post. Rather easy to implement

    Remark: I also had to use the Disable WPAUTOP plugin (only for the excerpt)

    Hi Eric,

    I’ve created a plugin that takes a random entry from inserted entries (for quotes, pictures, links, etc) – I use if for a random-image rotator.

    The plugin is downloadable from https://linux.linux.dk/projects/randomize

    Nice work Anders!
    But in this case, Eric needs to put his thumbnails in the content, and I don’t think this is what he wants.

    Oh wow what a load of replies! Thanks to both Razzi and Anders for the help. While both plugins look great I a bit confused on to how they can be implemented in the fasion I’m looking for. I would preferably like to have an actual image gallery on my blog site. Wiht this gallery I’d like to show a random image on my sidebar. Can either of these plugins do that? To see my website to get the gist of how things work click my name ??

    Hi Eric,

    Well, I’ve been considering using it for something like that – but my plugin relies on that YOU enter the addresses to the images first. That’s the disadvantage in this case I guess, but the advantage in other cases as it can then both serve random images and other random stuff to your site.

    But to answer your question – yes, it can – if you feed it with the links to the images yourself… Whether or not the other plugin can do that for you, I have no idea… ??
