    I’m trying to make a site using the raindrops theme that has the header image as a sliding/rotating/slideshow… whatever works, so that the header image is changing on it’s own, or if clicked with forward and backward options.

    I’ve tried numerous plugins that promise this, but I’m just too new with WP to get them to function properly.

    any known howto’s on this, or could someone come up with one?

    Hi kwrx25

    first How to customize your, To prevent the loss of update of Raindrops
    See:
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

    Note:

    @import url("../twentyfourteen/style.css");

    Raindrops Child theme no need @import rule.(Automaticaly import parent style.css)

    For example Change from header image to easing slider ‘light’ plugin.

    plugin URL:
    http://wordpress.org/plugins/easing-slider/

    Customize : Using Raindrops filter Example

    Child Themes functions.php add first line(<?php before ) below.

    add_filter( 'raindrops_header_image_home_url' , 'my_slide_show' );
    
    function my_slide_show( $header_image ) {
    
    	if ( class_exists( "ESL_Slideshow" ) ) { 
    
    		if ( is_front_page() || is_home() ) { //if need slideshow shows only home.
    
    			return ESL_Slideshow::get_instance()->display_slideshow();
    
    		}
    
    	}
    	return $header_image;
    }

    Another way

    Rewrite a Template file header.php

    /*	Commentout below code
    		if ( true == $raindrops_link_unique_text ) {
    
    			echo raindrops_header_image( 'elements' );
    		} else {
    
    			echo raindrops_header_image( 'home_url' );
    		}
    */
    /* Add below code */
    if ( function_exists( "easingsliderlite" ) ) { easingsliderlite(); }

    Plugin note:

    Dashboard / Slideshow / Settings

    Please Set Image Resizing Enable

    Thank you.
