Randomizing banners
The final task you can perform with the Homepage Banners area is to randomize your website’s homepage banners. This means that a visitor to your website may be shown a different homepage banner from your selection, each time they visit.
To change the randomizing status of your banners, try the following:
- In the Homepage banner management area, click the Actions menu and click the Enable randomise option when the menu opens.
- The page will refresh, a success message is shown and the randomize status will be updated.
note
The randomize image function will only use homepage images that have been made live.
