    Could anyone please tell me if it's possible and how I could accomplish getting the main (header) image on a WordPress theme to randomize? I'd like to have 3 or 4 different versions of the header image appear throughout the site.

    Thanks in advance,

    Joe

    Do you know what languages are available for you to use? Do you have PHP available?

    Wordpress is PHP so he must have PHP...

    You can use a random number generator to swap out the different header images. You'll have to put this snippet in the header file of Wordpress where the header image is.

    
<?php
    $rand = rand(0,3);
    if ($rand == 0) echo '<img src="image1.jpg">';
    if ($rand == 1) echo '<img src="image2.jpg">';
    if ($rand == 2) echo '<img src="image3.jpg">';
    if ($rand == 3) echo '<img src="image4.jpg">';
?>
    PHP:
