Random Header Images: How?

    Hey, had a browse and didn’t see anything concrete about it being asked already, so here goes.

    Does Hiero contain any support for randomized header images? I was under the impression it did when i set an older version up a while ago, but has since been updated and i don’t see this functionality anywhere.

    If it isn’t there, a way for me to do so would be greatly appreciated. If you do post a method, please be aware that I’m not amazingly webdev-savvy, try to be simple in your descriptions or I’ll get lost. ;_;

    Hi Fyurie,

    I have been using this theme for over an year now and dont remember of any such feature.

    but one can always customize the theme.

    can you please share a link to your site for us to have a look?

    Thanks

    Perhaps I’m just going mad then.

    Nothing too special going on, is the latest version of Hiero plus some minor CSS tweaks for colors etc.

    I need this too.
    How can i add an image (not logo) and replace the black backgroung of the header?

    Or do you know any free theme that supports this?

    Thanks

    @fyurie can you please explain how do or where do you need the image? an pictorial representation would be great

    @peti_ you can add any image in the logo section, only i will advice you to make sure the width of the image is less than or equal to 980px. Also please create new threads for new issues.

    Thanks

    Hi Peti,

    You can use a background image by the following steps.

    First upload an image to the media gallery and get the file url of the image and then add the following css to the bottom of style.css file.

    background-image: url("http://localhost/Others/wordpress/wordpress391/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/cover-01.jpg");

    I would advice you to make changes using child theme.

    Hope it helps!!

    Thanks

    @maruti Mohanty
    I’ve since gotten my problem solved by a webdev-savvy friend who ended up taking the random header image functionality from another theme using the same framework and hacking it into the Hiero theme.

    I could try and write something up for future searchers, but I can’t guarantee my series of events will get the correct/intended results.

    Hi Fyurie

    I checked your site and it looks like the image is added from the Appearance >> cutomize >> general >> Upload a logo which is available by default with the theme.

    The fact that it now randomizes when you refresh/load a new page is not default behavior, though, Maruti.

    @maruti

    I just wanted to change the background of the header (to an image), but your code helped me to do that.

    Thanks

    I don’t know the exact specifics as I left it largely to him to solve, but it came down to taking the function for selecting a random header image from another theme using the same framework as Hiero and putting that code into functions.php and header.php in the Hiero theme.

    I can perhaps ask him to come by and give a better response, but that’s as well of it that I know.
