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.

Note About WordPress 2.6 and Lower: This latest version will drop support for all versions below 2.7. This is due to increased problems with trying to make the plugin compatible with every version of WordPress as we add new features. If you are on 2.6 or lower you will need to use an earlier version of the plugin.

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.
