# Gallery function not working on random post

 * Hi,
    This is working great on my standard posts, but I’ve got a link on my homepage
   which takes the user to a random post. It uses `'orderby' =>'rand', 'showposts'
   => 1` in a query_posts array to do so. The post loads ok, but the gallery is 
   missing.
 * I’m not really much good with PHP so looking at wp-simple-gallery.php I can’t
   see what the issue might be (maybe galleries are associated to posts by the post
   ID?!)
 * Any help would be great.

 * I have just extended the shortcode so you can insert galleries from other posts/
   pages
    eg.
 * `[wpsgallery id="2"]`
 * Will be releasing soon!
