AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Random Image Block is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Gallery category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by Matt Rude — established developer track record

How Random Image Block works
The Random Image Block is a small plugin that will display a random image from your native WordPress photo galley or in-beaded images.
This widget will display the thumbnail of the random image, the “caption” and the images parent posts name. You may show all pictures on your site, or limit the selection to a single category if you wish. Once installed on your site, it will fully conform to the current theme. The Widgets title is also fully configurable. Random Image Widget was designed with full internationalization in mind and can be fully translated (Any help on this would be appreciated). As of Version 0.3 this plugin works out of the box without any configuraion (assuming you have pictures on your site).
The Random Image Block plugin works with WordPress 3.0+ in both single and multi site modes. As a Site Admin, you may activate this plugin across all the sites on your install.
