# Image Carousel – Load Random Image?

 * Is it possible to get an option to load an image randomly with the Image Carousel?
 * I am using the image carousel to display a square image in a widget spot that
   slides between images.
 * I need this function to be random, as we are using this spot to load “albums 
   of the week” and it needs to display a different album first on each load of 
   a page.
 * I’d be happy to donate to receive this added feature!

 * Hi [@tjdyo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tjdyo/),
 * this will be possible after the closest update, in a week or less.
 * You’ll need to do add a custom CSS class to your shortcode and add the following
   snippet to the `functions.php` file:
 *     ```
       add_filter(
       	'su/get_gallery_slides_query',
       	function( $query, $source, $atts ) {
   
       		if ( ! isset( $atts['class'] ) || strpos( $atts['class'], 'random-image' ) === false ) {
       			return $query;
       		}
   
       		$query['ignore_sticky_posts'] = true;
       		$query['orderby']             = 'rand';
   
       		return $query;
   
       	},
       	10,
       	3
       );
       ```
   
 * And this is the example of what CSS class you should add:
 *     ```
       [su_image_carousel class="random-image"]
       ```

 * For some reason this didn’t work for me. Can’t wait for the update, and I definitely
   will buy a premium addon. Thank you for the great support!

 * Any chance that update is coming soon? The last update didn’t include the feature
   to randomly load the images I choose.
 * I need to be able to pick 2-10 images and have it randomly start with one per
   page load. I added the code to my functions.php and added the class to my shortcode,
   but nothing changed.
