    Hello,

    Is there any way to shuffle the images in our gallery for our blog? We upload by each user’s content, but would like them to be displayed in random order.

    Displayed in random order or show random images? If the former, the “Mosaic” layout does that to a small extent. If the latter, there is no way to pull images randomly from Flickr. The list of options for sort are in the documentation.

    Display in random order. We basically just want to shuffle the order of the images since we upload them by user/title and don’t want to show the same title multiple times in a row being that it’s displayed on the hover over. We thought about changing the dates, but it looks like we have to do it one by one, which isn’t an option because we have thousands of images.

    You can’t do that. Any randomization done on the plugin adds to the weight of the plugin and will slow down your site, which is why all sort operations are left to the service provider.

    @rutvanelk,
    As per the forum guidelines, please start your own thread instead of responding to an old, resolved thread.
