Overview
Hot Random Image by Hot Themes is a basic plugin that shows a randomly picked image from a selected folder where images are stored. You can define a folder and the plugin will show all the images from this folder in a random order. Also, it’s possible to select only certain images from the folder that will be added in rotation. Each image can be linked. Alt text is optional. Image dimensions (width and height) can be defined in any format (pixels, percents, auto-mode…). Therefore, this plugin is appropriate for all responsive websites.

Does the job and interesting features

If you need to insert a random image, it’s a very interesting little plugin. The features are quite handy too. And it works without problem.
Useful plugin, despite a little lack
by Patric·2 years ago·1 reply
The plugin works perfectly as it should.
It would be nice to be able to display randomly several images.
I can do it by using several times the widget, but then the same image may be displayed more than once.

Great Plugin

Worked for me. I used this to create an advertisement banner in the footer section. Each time when you refresh the page, you will get a new image.
