    Hi there,

    I think you might be expecting the feature to work different than it does. Randomized header images don’t mean the image cycles like a slideshow while you look at your site. Instead, if you switch between different posts and pages on your site, the custom header will be randomly assigned each time a new page is loaded.

    Because your theme also uses featured images as the custom header on posts and pages this is not easy to notice on your site. At the moment on your site the only pages without featured images is the one blog post, https://artofdollstudio.wordpress.com/2016/08/30/first-blog-post/

    If you open that post, and then force-refresh your browser by pressing Ctrl-F5, you’ll see it randomly picks one of the two headers you have uploaded. All the other pages on your site has featured images, so they will only show those featured images, not the images you have set as custom headers.

    Your theme does not have any option for an automatic slideshow in the header.
