different header images for each page

[lucy Jackson]

Hi All,
I just wondered if you knew whether i can change the header images for
different pages and categories? Im using the twenty eleven theme.
Thanks!

Hi Lucy,

You'd need to set these in your style.css file I think. Something like:

.category-catname1 #header {

background: #fff url(images/catname1bg.jpg) top left no-repeat;

}

.category-catname2 #header {

background: #fff url(images/catname2bg.jpg) top left no-repeat;

}

If you inspect or view source on the website you'll see the category classes added to the body element.

Hope that helps.

Chris

Hi

 

I would like to add that you can introduce conditional statements. For instance, I have Multilanguage sites. Header images and text change according to the values of the ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE variable.

I am using pagelines theme, but you can find similar solutions in any other theme.

 

Cheers

Lucy,

If you add a large enough image (1000 pixels wide or more) as the featured image to a post or page, Twenty Eleven will automatically use that image as the header for just that page.

See this short video here http://mikelittle.org/videos/adding-a-custom-header-with-twenty-eleven/

Chris' suggestion should work for categories.
