Random populating gallery

Recommended Posts

I'm in the process of updating my portfolio website. I'm using Squarespace 7.0 using the Wexley template

I would like to have my page as one big gallery that randomly populates images. Kind of like an old tumblr page.

I did some research and found this plugin but I can't seem to get it to work. https://www.sqspthemes.com/plugins/gallery-random-order

Any advice?

The site that is live is a different template and layout than the one I am currently working on. 

This would be a close example to what the new layout will look like. 

However I want the images to populate randomly.

I'm interested in seeing the actual site with the failing code so I can see if there is a reason the code is not working.

The actual site is in a different layout. 

The one with the failing code is still in preview until I get the code working properly. I don't want to launch a faulty site. Also I don't think its possible to share a preview. Below is an attached screen shot of the site.

Hello Creedon

I was wondering if you could also help me pleas. I have the exact same problem using the same plugin, also Squarespace 7.0 and the same template Wexley.

Here is the URL:  www.edgardocontreras.com

I don't have any targets defined, so I think it should affect al galleries.

I think this is one where you'll need to contact the support of the plug-in seller. I see no signs of visible errors but I also traced the code to the Math.random function in the code and it is never hit so I assume something else is going wrong in the code that is preventing it from getting to the random number function.
