Seeking advice to select a header rotation theme

  • Hi all.

    I have been running Twenty Eleven theme for header rotation for long time on my >40 websites. Now I’m prepared to build a new website. Which will be the latest theme for hearder rotation (rotating images automatically)? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

    Do I still need creating a child-theme? In the past I need activating a child-theme.

    Regards

  • Hi there,

    The latest default WordPress theme that supports header rotation is the Twenty Seventeen theme.

    Check this guide to learn more about header media in the Twenty Seventeen theme:
    https://www.ads-software.com/documentation/article/twenty-seventeen/#header-media

    You don’t need to create a child theme to use the header media feature in Twenty Seventeen theme.


    Hope this helps!

    Hi@mohamedkhafaja,

    Thanks for your advice.

    At the very early stage I ran “Cimy Header Image Rotator”. The images, automatically rotated inside the Header, are upload to website by me. Now this plugin is no more supported. I still have it running on some of my websites.

    Regards

    Edit:

    Just checked Twenty Seventeen theme. I remenber I have used this theme sometime before. It is still an old Header Rotator theme

    Hey @satimis

    I think you are better off using a slider plugin that would allow you to add a slider to the header. Look up the WordPress plugins repo. using the term “slider.” You should find a few plugins that fit your needs.

    Cheers

    Hi@mohamedkhafaja,

    If I couldn’t find new theme with header rotation, I’ll go back to Theme Twenty Eleven which caters my need. I can upload photos for rotation to replace the original photos coming with the Theme.

    In the past I need creating Child-Theme. I don’t whether it is still necessary.

    Regards
