Dynamic Headers

Authors: k0pper, css_wizard

Dynamic headers fills a void that has been present for a while in WordPress. It is a small, easy to use plugin that allows you to manage what header media is shown on each page/post. Unlike some other plugins however, this plugin allows you to use any image file OR a .swf Flash file. So you are no longer limited to a certain media type for your headers and you are no longer limited to one site-wide header. Enjoy.

3.4.6 was accidentally released with a piece of broken code. Please upgrade to 3.4.7 to alleviate this problem.

Features:

  • Set different headers for each page and post.
  • Use different media types on each page (image files, flash files).
  • Cross browser compliant embed code automatically generated.
  • Can set default header for pages/posts without set header image.
  • Fails gracefully if no header media present for current page.
  • Random media for individual pages/posts and default media.
  • Alt / Title tag management for images.
  • Supports both built in browser uploader or FTP.
  • Quick and lightweight.
  • Simply add template tag to theme to pull dynamic media.
  • Tested and validated to work on WordPress version 2.3+
  • Ability to add links to your header images.
  • WordPress MU Compatible
  • Theme developer friendly with several template tags and functions for custom themes.

Important Upgrade Note: If upgrading from Dynamic Headers 2.7 or lower: The image folder has moved. You will need to create the directory /wp-content/header-images/ and make it writable. You will need to backup /wp-content/plugins/dynamic-headers/header-images/ and move your header files to the new directory before upgrading.
