Hm, I thought it might be an adjustment you could make in the functions.php file as I’ve seen is possible for site headers across a site (replacing the random images which accompany twenty-eleven, for example), but instead relegated to particular pages or posts. I feel like, if I were a php expert, it could be done, which is what I was hoping to hear from with this query.

Thanks for your observations re any themes doing this though, that is useful information also. ??

I think I hear you explaining that the post where this was mentioned by a reader, was referring to header images, which is what I am referring to also and is mentioned in the subject line here. The distinctive word he used was “random”, and that’s what I’m curious about.

My original question is how to set my images to appear as the random header images just on particular pages, or posts?

And if I set that up, whether later adding a Featured Image to any of those particular pages would use that Featured Image, or if that page/post would persist in using the random image/s set up for it?

Hope I’m being clear! Thanks so much. ??

I found a topic here noting that my “Featured Image” NEEDS to be 1000x288px.

Is that truly required? Or, may I set what size the “Featured Image” may be some other way? I do not mind having all Featured Images be ONE size, but I don’t want it as tall as 288px.

I found a post noting where in Settings – Media I can specify the various photo sizes to display, though there is no place to set a “Featured Image” size. Is that settable somewhere else, maybe a css or (gulp) php page somewhere?

While I am at it, if it IS possible to set size X for page/post X and size Y for page/post Y, how can that be done?

Thanks so much for any help. ??

I have tried this multiple times, on both pages and posts. Setting an image shows UP on the post or page, but does not replace the theme’s header image.

The header image WILL change if I upload a new one in Appearance – Header.

Finding this support page however, I tried again and unclicked/unchose the image I’d uploaded as Header image, and chose the Random image. I again tried to “Set Featured Image” on a page, then on a post, UPDATE each page. Both of which show being PUBLISHED, yet when I load the page neither image appears. All I see are the Random images again.

Any ideas what I could look into, what I may have done wrong?

Thank you so much for your help!
