Unique Headers
Published November 3rd, 2014 under Plugins
Update: This version is now available from the official repository.
I’m working on a substantial update to the Unique Headers plugin for WordPress. If you use the plugin, I’d love to hear some feedback on how you find this new beta version of the plugin. It hasn’t had a lot of testing yet, but it should be okay to use on a live site. But as always, make sure you backup first in case I’m wrong 🙂

I think you are asking me to modify your theme for you. I do not provide free support for modifying themes sorry. I recommend trying the WordPress.org support forums instead.

Hi Ryan,
My name is Andrew Kurtis and I am associated with Web Hosting Hub community team.
I found your Unique Headers plugin at http://geek.ryanhellyer.net/products/unique-headers/ very interesting. My idea is to translate that to Spanish language and help people from Hispanic community find your plugin useful too. But you would need to create the translatable .pot file first in order for me to proceed. Please let me know if you are willing to do that so I can translate it.
Regards,
Andrew Kurtis

Thanks for the offer Andrew, but the latest version which will be released in a few weeks is already available in Spanish. You can download it directly from GitHub, but it will be available from WordPress.org fairly soon too (before the end of 2014 unless I end up unexpectedly busy).

The plug in works great except for the blog page. I have selected an image to be my header but it isn\’t showing up. Any ideas?

That’s because your blog page is not technically a page within WordPress.
I’ve made an issue for this on GitHub. So next time I’m working on the plugin I’ll look into this for you, but this probably won’t be any time soon sorry.
This is somewhat of a problem with the way WordPress is built (blog pages on inner pages was tacked into the WordPress code-base as an after thought), but I think I may be able to work around that issue.
In the mean time, you could simply edit your header.php file to make it pull the image from the static page. That’s a bit of a hack, but it would work, and it would be much easier than my next suggestion of writing an extension for the Unique Headers plugin .

Hello!
I have just discovered this plugin and I was very excited using it !
My blog is divided in several categories (different subjects) so I was looking for a plugin that would change the header image for each category.
So, I have added an image to one of these category and it works.. but …
It would have been convenient if this image was applied to all the articles in this category. I can of course add this same image to each article.
The problem is that if one day I want to modify the image of a category, I will have to modify all the articles independently and that could be very tedious. Would it be possible to add this functionality to the plugin?
Thanks in advance

You can add a custom header specifically for your category.
