Support » Fixing WordPress » Can the header in twenty eleven be changed to two images?

  • Is there a way that the header in the Twenty Eleven theme can be split into 2 images? I’d like my static logo on the left and than a slideshow on the right, directly next to it.

  • you should be able to change the size of the header image, and add anything else on the right.

    will require changes to header.php and functions.php and style.css in a child theme of Twenty Eleven. http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

    in functions.php, use for instance:

    function twentyelevenchild_custom_header_setup() {
    	$header_args = array( 'height' => 175, 'width' => 300 );
    	add_theme_support( 'custom-header', $header_args );
    }
    add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'twentyelevenchild_custom_header_setup' );

    the slideshow code needs to be inserted into header.php, possibly wrapped into a div for formatting, and after:

    <?php endif; // end check for removed header image ?>

    for suggestions regarding formatting, please post a link to your site once you have done the above.

    Thanks for the quick response. I’m feeling a little over my head with the coding. Could you break it down a little for me and describe what I should do in the Header.php & Style.css files.

    Thanks a lot.

    what size do you want the header image to be?
    what slideshow are you using?

    once you have the child theme created, please post a link to your site.

    header and slideshow need to be in place to make any suggetions for the css.

    A-
    I want my slideshow to be 492px wide by 371px deep. I want it to float right and on the left of it I want my logo. I was planning on using the meteor-slides plugin. But if you have another suggestion, please let me know.
    Right now I’m working locally on my computer so I’ve got a couple more days of messing with it before I upload it.

    Once it’s uploaded I’ll let send a link.

    Thanks,
    R
