 * Hello,
    I´m using the sidebar widget to show 4 images from a special gallery 
   which I have listed. It doesn´t Always show 4 images if I use random. Sometimes
   it says “no images found” If I use recently added it Always show 4.

 * [@jess74](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jess74/) – This is a known issue
   with the NextGEN Widget and using the “random” selection from a specific gallery
   or galleries. The best work-around for the time being is to use the “recent” 
   option rather than the “random” option.
