Hi Keith. Your plugin works just great. Thank you!

I'd like to use it for multiple images. I have 4 images in a row on the homepage. I'd like to have each image to draw on their own random group of images.

Is this possible?

Keith, I've been using your random image generator, but every time I try to upgrade, it stops working. Here's what happnes:

background-image:url(

See the "<" before the "img" Not sure how that gets in there. Seems like it's part of the php and therefore shouldn't get printed to the html, but I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Here the output from the php lines:

background-image:url();

ps.. I've made the image folder 777. I'm using WP 3.0.1. If I drop a direct url link in an tag, any one of the five logos I have in the folder will display correctly. It's only when I attempt to use the php code provided that it doesn't work. My code, before and after, looks like this:

BEFORE:

...

AFTER:

...

Is it something having to do with the pathing defined in options?

Confused.. I BELIEVE I have the code inserted in my header.php file correctly, but each time I load the page it is only displaying the "name" of one of the image files.. in the path. For a brief moment, it appears as if the image is trying to load.. then it just "reverts" to the file name..

Does anybody know what's going on..?

I have been using 1.5.5 and it works great. I love it. I tried to upgrade to 1.5.6, however and no pictures. I reactivate 1.5.5 and it works again. Activate 1.5.6, no pictures.

hi. i haven’t been able to get the plugin in to work. where should i insert the code in my index.php file? i am new to this, so that could by why i am not so good at figuring this out. i tried putting it in the actual page, but then the code shows up, even if i make sure to have something like the inline php plugin. i want it to show up in the body of my homepage….

Hi Keith, Your plugin is great. Best solution for me out there. My new feature request is similar to Adam’s on April 22, 2010.

I’d love to use multiple versions of the plugin on the same page and have them all pull from different folders.

Thanks!

As far as I know there aren’t any significant performance issues with the plugin. It must just be a coincidence.

I think the plugin is great and I have managed to install it with limited php skills but I have noticed that the site runs a bit slower. Would anyone know whether it is because of this plugin or just a co-incidence?

Thanks, Steve. I’ve actually got a similar feature built-in for the next release, but I appreciate the offer!

hi there

I have edited your plug in to offer the addional choice of either “css” or “image tag” output.

If you’d like a copy to see and possibly update your blog plugin download with let me know

Anyone else reading this can ask me direct at http://www.webs-for-everyone.co.uk if you’d like it I’ll be happy to share it.

Hi Keith,

I was wondering if this plugin could be adapted to generate two random images from two different directories on the same page.

For example, I’m using the script to pull a random image in the “Covet This” section of our sidebar and link to that blog category, but would like to pull a random image for the “Spotted” section as well.
