    I use the slider on my homepage just as it is in the demo.  I I found the "sliding" to be too much activity, so I disabled automatic sliding.  However I created 3 slides all with catchy descriptions and calls to action.  Is there a way that the slider can be called to load a random slide per page visit or page refresh?

    Thanks for the theme!

    Hi Jason,

    Unfortunately it is not possible to display the slides in a random order, this required custom coding inside the template files.

    But with the code below the slider will display a different slide on each page load, but the order of the slides does not change. You can add the code via Appearance -> Customize -> Theme Options -> Custom -> Custom JS Head

    <script>
var currentSlide;
var rand;
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
  currentSlide = Math.floor((Math.random() * jQuery('.item').length));
  rand = currentSlide;
  jQuery('#jumbotron-fullwidth').carousel(currentSlide);
  jQuery('#jumbotron-fullwidth').fadeIn(1000);
  setInterval(function(){ 
    while(rand == currentSlide){
      rand = Math.floor((Math.random() * jQuery('.item').length));
    }
    currentSlide = rand;
    jQuery('#jumbotron-fullwidth').carousel(rand);
  },5000);
});
</script>


    Best regards,
    Barry

    This is a nice workaround, and will likely work better for what I need.  Thank you.
