Shortcode: [WP_HEADER_IMAGES]

WP Header Images is a great plugin to implement custom header images for each page. You can set images easily and later can manage CSS from your theme.
WP Header Images is a WordPress plugin which helps you to choose a unique image for each menu page. Normally a menu item can be either page, post, category, product or even just a link. These menu items can be managed from WordPress Admin > Appearance > Menus.
WooCommerce categories can have unique header images by using this plugin. It was a difficult thing to manage different slideshow before, most of the times you have to be restricted for banner area for only home page. And that home banners cannot be used for all pages. By this plugin you can use unique header images for each WooCommerce category and product pages too.

Reviews

Great plugin and support

Chris September 26, 2022

I don’t know what the other reviewers are complaining about. This is a simple plugin that did exactly what I needed; set a default header image, and to be able to set special header images in any page. The first time I had a problem was almost 2 years after installation and use. The developer was responsive, and had the issue resolved very quickly. I was very impressed. Great plugin, highly recommend!

No good support

pe greme December 1, 2021 1 reply

With the new theme version of Leftside this long working plugin did not fit anymore! The various header images were no longer displayed or the pages were shot with the codes provided in the plugin. With the default themes it works. Unfortunately the developer didn’t offer me any real support, but wanted access via FTP data or into the whole system. Despite sending me the theme and child theme data, I received no response. Too bad! So I switched to another new plugin.

Does Absolutely Nothing What So Ever!
