How could I change the banner on each post?

  • I’m using WordPress for a conventional site so that each new Post I create is actually a page with a link in the menu.

    sandandseahomes.com (a real estate page)

    What I’d like to do is have the banner change each time you go to a new property page. Then I could show the property in the banner instead of the banner pic.

    I’ve heard I can do that by creating a prompt (Headerpic?) for each new page but how would I set that up?

    Thanks – rev

    is one possibility. Uses custom fields (which I believe is what you meant by prompt)

    You could also do it with featured images, depending on if your theme is using those elsewhere?

    The real ‘how-to’ of setting it up in your theme depends how it is coded…. how does it bring in the header image? In the html? php? css?

    That ‘Custom Field’ thing looks right. The template has a ‘get header’ thing in it and the header is a separate deal.

    So right now, the pic name is in the header crap.

    yeah, get_header is standard to most WP themes, calls in your header.php file. If the pic is called directly into your header, that custom field thing should work for you

    If that particular tut doesn’t work for you just google wordpress header custom field for other tut options

    Thanks – it would be a cool addition to the page.

    I’ll check it out.

    Yeah, I just recently started using custom fields for all sorts of junk…. Once you grasp the concept and the lingo, implementing them isn’t hard

    The lingo is weird, WordPress has reinvented the wheel with all new terms for things we’re already familiar with. I’m finding that a little confusing.

    btw: I forgot to click Notify Me on another post, how do I find it again?

    It’s under each comment box…… must be clicked before making the comment I would assume

    I meant how do I find the post, not the box to click!

    I missed my opportunity to click it so I won’t get replies, I’ll need to keep back manually.

    Once I find it again I can subscribe.

    Another post you were involved in here?

    click ‘view your profile’ up toward the top right, that’ll take you to threads you’ve been involved in
