Title: Random Header Images: How? Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Random Header Images: How? * Resolved [Fyurie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fyurie/) * (@fyurie) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-header-images-how/) * Hey, had a browse and didn’t see anything concrete about it being asked already, so here goes. * Does Hiero contain any support for randomized header images? I was under the impression it did when i set an older version up a while ago, but has since been updated and i don’t see this functionality anywhere. * If it isn’t there, a way for me to do so would be greatly appreciated. If you do post a method, please be aware that I’m not amazingly webdev-savvy, try to be simple in your descriptions or I’ll get lost. ;_; Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * [Maruti Mohanty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marutim/) * (@marutim) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-header-images-how/#post-6327467) * Hi Fyurie, * I have been using this theme for over an year now and dont remember of any such feature. * but one can always customize the theme. * can you please share a link to your site for us to have a look? * Thanks * Thread Starter [Fyurie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fyurie/) * (@fyurie) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-header-images-how/#post-6327472) * Perhaps I’m just going mad then. * [https://www.goodjobmedia.com/](https://www.goodjobmedia.com/) * Nothing too special going on, is the latest version of Hiero plus some minor CSS tweaks for colors etc. * [Peti_](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peti_/) * (@peti_) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-header-images-how/#post-6327517) * I need this too.
