Does somebody have any ideas?
This bug is a bit frustrating and any insights would be helpful.
Could you paste the function that outputs the header?

Did you try to de-activate the language and translation management for media?

I figured out what setting you wanted me to disable, so I unchecked it and it’s working now! Thank you! I’m not sure what that does though; will it break any other area on the site?

This option allows you to set media titles and descriptions in multiple languages. If you don’t use this feature, then it’s safe.

Oh, I see. I do have every picture in both languages… So I guess this feature is necessary for my blog.
Is there some other reason the ‘Random Header’ feature won’t work?

This should work. If you activate the language and translation for media then the random header is logically filtered by language. So you need to have pictures available in all languages. If you have no picture in German, then nothing is outputed.

The headers show up perfectly when the Random Header is turned off. That means I can pick German and the header shows up correctly on the German page. Doesn’t that mean it’s set correctly? I verified it with a visual inspection in my Media Library – every image is set for both languages. But when I change the headers to random, no header shows up on the German page (although the English headers continue to work).
Hmmm… I’m stumped, any help would be welcome. Thanks!

OK. But did you included the translations of your pictures in the header image list?
One way to check this is to activate the admin language filter (in the menu bar on top of your screen) and check that pictures appear in the custom header setting page for both English and German.

That worked! Although the theme doesn’t show any indication of a change, selecting each translated header image seems to overwrite the default image with both languages. Then I simply set it back to random. The behavior is now what I expect it to be. Thanks for your help.
