Hi there,

There is a randomize button in the header images section of the Customize page. Be sure that is turned off.

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Christopher

I tried uploading the images in the order I want them to appear in the slideshow, but they are still randomizing. Is there a way to get them to appear in a specific order? My website is jillbauerle.com. Thanks!

Woohoo! :-)

Wow, an awesome theme AND superbe support!
5 stars for you! :)

Hi there,

VYSUAL is using the native WordPress header image feature and turns it into a slideshow system. WordPress doesn't have a native slideshow feature for the header images, which is why they don't have any kind of drag-and-drop functionality.

Currently the reviews are set to display randomly. If you want to change this, open page-reviews.php and locate the following on line 63...

'orderby' => 'rand',

You have the following options to replace 'rand'...

• 'none' - No order.
• 'ID' - Order by post id. Note the capitalization.
• 'author' - Order by author.
• 'title' - Order by title.
• 'name' - Order by post name (post slug).
• 'type' - Order by post type.
• 'date' - Order by date.
• 'modified' - Order by last modified date.
• 'parent' - Order by post/page parent id.
• 'rand' - Random order.
• 'comment_count' - Order by number of comments.
• 'menu_order' - Order by Page Order. Used most often for Pages and for Attachments (the integer fields in the Insert / Upload Media Gallery dialog), but could be used for any post type with distinct 'menu_order' values (they all default to <var>0</var>).
• 'meta_value' - Note that a 'meta_key=keyname' must also be present in the query. Note also that the sorting will be alphabetical which is fine for strings (i.e. words), but can be unexpected for numbers (e.g. 1, 3, 34, 4, 56, 6, etc, rather than 1, 3, 4, 6, 34, 56 as you might naturally expect). Use 'meta_value_num' instead for numeric values. You may also specify 'meta_type' if you want to cast the meta value as a specific type. Possible values are 'NUMERIC', 'BINARY', 'CHAR', 'DATE', 'DATETIME', 'DECIMAL', 'SIGNED', 'TIME', 'UNSIGNED', same as in '$meta_query'. When using 'meta_type' you can also use meta_value_* accordingly. For example, when using DATETIME as 'meta_type' you can use 'meta_value_datetime' to define order structure.
• 'meta_value_num' - Order by numeric meta value. Also note that a 'meta_key=keyname' must also be present in the query. This value allows for numerical sorting as noted above in 'meta_value'.
• 'post__in' - Preserve post ID order given in the post__in array.

Hope that helps!

Best,

Christopher

That edit time limit sure is short. :)

Is there any way I can fix this myself or is it a major thing that has to change in the theme for it to work in a more intuitive way?

May I suggest you add the feature to Customizing Header Image menu where you can drag the images around and have them appear after how they are added to the menu and have a toggle box for random instead of ordered.

Okay, so I've figured out what's going on with the order of the header images.
The images are displayed in the order they are uploaded to the Media Library and the reviews are displayed backwards, the latest posted review is the first one to show.
So if I have 4 images (1.png to 4.png) that I want to sync with 4 reviews I have to upload the images in the order 4 -1 so that they match the reviews which are posted 1-4. This becomes problematic if I later decide to add a fifth image with corresponding review.
I either have to delete all uploaded images and upload them again, starting with image 5, down to image 1. Or redo all review posts.
This is fine for 5 images, but when you have say 30 images it starts to be a hassle.

Hi,
I'm trying to tie the reviews to specific header images.
I found how to have the reviews show up in post order from another thread, by editing page-reviews.php.
But I can't find a smilar string of code to turn the random off for the header images.
If I only could have the header image show up in the order they're listed under customize header images I can sync the header images with the reviews.

Cheers!
