try to replace get_template_directory_uri() with a suitable get_bloginfo()
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_bloginfo
or:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_upload_dir
on second thoughts – might be more complex, as you also might need to adapt the month of the upload directory and the title of the images (?)
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-random-header
Upload your images to wp-content/header-images and it takes care of randomly selecting a file. You just need to make sure they’re the right size. Every month, just replace the contents of the folder.
Hi,
Firstly this will point to the twenty eleven themes folders and not the child themes folders!
get_template_directory_uri();
You should add the images in the child themes folder and use:
$path = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/images/banner/';
No Code Solution (preffered option)
as my client wants to change the image every month?
It looks like this is not a slider as you client want to change the image monthly, as RichMacDonald has said you could just upload headers and these will change on each page load but they will not ‘slide’, or your client can upload and set the active header themself from admin.
Using Header Images in a Slider Script:
To return the headers to use in a slider, there is a function that will return the header images in an array so you can use them in your slider!
// Get an array of uploaded headers
$headers = get_uploaded_header_images();
if( $headers ) {
foreach( $headers as $header ) {
echo '<img src="' .$header['url'] .'" />\n"';
}
}
Slider Plugin
There are a number of slider plugins out there that could also be used.
