Headline Image Plugin Help

  • I was wondering if anyone is using the Headline Image Plugin? If anyone is not familiar with this plugin you can find it here: https://www.coldforged.org/archives/2005/02/18/new-image-headline-plugin-is-finally-ready/

    My problem is I am just having problems understanding the installation process. I asked for help in the comments section on the plugin page but that was days ago and nobody been commenting.

    I have tried to set it up 3 times and it never works. If anyone has had luck installing this I’d appreciate it very much if you could go through step-by-step with me as to what files go where, and what goes where in my index.php file.

    Thanks so much! Sorry to be a pain!

  • Thanks to all who tried to help me on here. Good News! I finally got the plugin to work. It was really a stupid mistake. I was installing the plugin in my plugins file instead of wp-content. I should have picked up on that. I read it so many times. Oh well!

    If anyone wants to take a look at how it looks: https://www.simplecountryliving.net/bookblog

    Thanks Everyone

    countrygirl, do you think you can give me some of your insight? I saw what you did and that you put it in /plugins when its only supposed to be in wp-content, but it doesn’t show up as a plugin for me then?

    I, too, am having trouble getting the Image Headlines plugin to work. Using the latest WP version. Everything else is fine; AND I have used the Image Headlines plugin before (back quite a while ago, with the 1.5 version of WP) and it worked fine.

    So I’m at a loss here. I finally got rid of the cache directory error message, and I have put the calls into my templates . . .

    But it is still not DISPLAYING the fonts I uploaded for my headlines; i.e., it’s still displaying the regular ole font from my stylesheet displayed on my site. And yet, the new fonts I want to use ARE showing up in the Headlines admin area of my site.

    Anyone still reading this thread willing to help? ??

    SOLVED:

    IF you are using WP 2.2.3 (sorry, not sure about other versions), this worked for me:

    — When installing, put the image-headlines.php file in the wp-content/plugins directory.
    — The .ttf file needs to go in the wp-content/image-headlines directory (which you have to manually create).

    Be sure to put

    the title(’-image-’);

    (the function call) in your home.php file AS WELL AS in your index.php and page.php files. Not having it in my home.php file was what was causing the non-rendering for me. I think you can put it into your search.php too, if you need/want image headlines for that part of your site.

    While I’m on a roll:

    How To Solve the “border around the headline” issue:

    Put 

    h1 a img {
border: none;
}

    into your CSS file for the theme you are using.

    Worked for me, anyway. Good luck. It’s a great plugin.
