 * Is it possible to a random NextGen random gallery on the front page instead of
   the image posts at the top? It would sort out both the lightbox issue and recent
   posts issue I’m having with this theme and look pretty cool.

 * Blasted,
 * There really isn’t a way to replace the image posts on the homepage with a NextGen
   gallery without modifying the “page-home.php” template and replacing the main
   query.
 * If you do so, use a Child Theme so you don’t lose any changes with future updates.
 * You can change the order of the posts on the Home page by navigating to Appearance
   > Customize > Home Section and selecting either ascending or descending.
 * Thanks!
