Hi,
I asked a similar question some time ago. The main focus then was to randomly show page hero elements on specific pages. This time I need just the background image to change. In a perfect world I would not have to create new elements for each and every page. This would make things pretty messy. We have a header element for most of the 15 or so pages. Typically, there is some text overlay like on this page. I would like the images to change randomly after reloading the page. I could write a function that injects some CSS right before the closing HEAD tag. That wouldn’t be super pretty and still messy, but it would do the trick. Do you have a better idea? How would you do this? I don’t use the block editor. Please let me know, if the block editor would provide more functions regarding this specific topic. I try to avoid the block editor, but I don’t want to be stubborn. 🙂
Thank you!

Hi there,
This definitely requires a custom snippet, as the block editor does not support this feature by default.
Perhaps the method outlined in the following topic post suits your requirements?

That would work. Would you approve this approach? There is probably no more elegant solution for this, I guess.

Personally I would use this approach if I needed to meet such a requirement. 🙂

Thanks, Alvind. If it’s good enough for you, it’s good enough for me. 🙂
By the way, I don’t get any notifications of new posts. The Notify-me-checkbox is enabled, of course. I checked the Spam folder. Nothing there. I had the same problem some years ago and changed my email. That worked until recently.

You’re welcome!
That’s odd. When the notify checkbox is enabled, you should receive an email. Let me know if you get a notification from this reply.

Strange. NOW, I got a notification from your reply.
