<![CDATA[Carousel random order on every page load]]>hey!
in a carousel slideshow with “random order” enabled, is there a way to make the slide order reshuffle on every page load? right now it randomizes once and then stays fixed until i update the page again. i’d also like the starting image to be different each time.
(balazsdanyi.com, landing page fullscreen slideshow)
thanks!

Probably I would have to do the randomized functionality by using JavaScript instead of PHP so it doesn't render my server-side, but clientside

Can you go to Lay Options, then search for cache, and then disable "Layout Cache" ?

This will make your site load a little slower, though.

update: on https://balazsdanyi.com the image-based carousel now starts with different slides correctly.

however, on https://vzt.hu the fullscreen carousel contains only videos, and even with “random order” enabled it always starts with the same video after refresh.

is there any workaround to randomize the first video as well?

thanks
