    Hi all.

    I have been running Twenty Eleven theme for header rotation for long time on my >40 websites. Now I’m prepared to build a new website. Which will be the latest theme for hearder rotation (rotating images automatically)? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

    Do I still need creating a child-theme? In the past I need activating a child-theme.

    Regards

    Hi there,

    The latest default WordPress theme that supports header rotation is the Twenty Seventeen theme.

    Check this guide to learn more about header media in the Twenty Seventeen theme:
    https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/twenty-seventeen/#header-media

    You don’t need to create a child theme to use the header media feature in Twenty Seventeen theme.


    Hope this helps!

    Hi@mohamedkhafaja,

    Thanks for your advice.

    At the very early stage I ran “Cimy Header Image Rotator”. The images, automatically rotated inside the Header, are upload to website by me. Now this plugin is no more supported. I still have it running on some of my websites.

    Regards

    Edit:

    Just checked Twenty Seventeen theme. I remenber I have used this theme sometime before. It is still an old Header Rotator theme

    Hey @satimis

    I think you are better off using a slider plugin that would allow you to add a slider to the header. Look up the WordPress plugins repo. using the term “slider.” You should find a few plugins that fit your needs.

    Cheers

    Hi@mohamedkhafaja,

    If I couldn’t find new theme with header rotation, I’ll go back to Theme Twenty Eleven which caters my need. I can upload photos for rotation to replace the original photos coming with the Theme.

    In the past I need creating Child-Theme. I don’t whether it is still necessary.

    Regards
