have you tried the 1 to 2 year old anwers?
they might still be applicable today.
what theme are you using or planning to use?
I must admit I haven’t as they are slightly compex and as I am still learning my way around both WOrdpress and php I was hoping that there would be some plugin to do it now as there is for determining whether or not a widget displays on a given page (which solved a similar problem in respect of side bar content).
The theme I am trying out is Weaver 2.2.6 (Wheat) – will probably go with that one.
That’s one of the ones I tried to control what displayed on side panels (though ended up using Display Widgets which was better for my purposes). What I (think I) need is something to change the image used in header.php on each page.
Thanks anyway.
Will this header image be applied via CSS? If so, using the body_class() function will let you apply header images using classes generated on the <body>
element. You can achieve the same thing if the images are being applied within header.php itself but that would take some conditional scripting and may not be quite a flexible as the CSS method.
afaik, Weaver is based on Twenty Ten, and might have the same coding to show a header image if the page/post has a ‘featured imge’ with the minimum header image dimensions.
Thanks for your help ladies/gentlemen. I’m afraid this proves I need to climb further up the learning curve! While I have a fair understanding of CSS and HTML, I have no idea as yet as to where to find and apply these suggestions in WOrdpress. It ain’t easy to do what I want to do.
