• Hi there,

    I’m sure there’s a simple solution to this but I can’t find it. My site is bilingual (French-English) and I’d like to display language-specific versions of the header image. I saw that the Featured Image module in the bottom right corner under Page Attributes allows me to set a custom header for specific pages, so I thought I’d use it to set an English header on English pages and vice versa for French. It works, but if Polylang knows of an existing translation for a particular page, it will use that same custom header image for both language versions of the same page. How can I fix that? Thanks…

    You can change into your header.php

    The function pll_current_language() give you selected language

    For example, you can have something like that :

    <div id="header">
    <img src="images/header<?php echo pll_current_language(); ?>.jpg" alt="header" />
    </div>

    If you are with french, image’s name was headerfr.jpg, in english that’s headeren.jpg

    Thanks for the quik reply! This is all new to me, so I may need a little more help to make it work. Would you mind taking a look atthe below ccode from my header.php and tell me exactly where to implement your suggestion? Thanks a lot!

    <body <?php body_class(); ?>>
    
    <div id="page" class="hfeed">
    
    	<header id="branding" role="banner">

    				<h2 id="site-description"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></h2>
    			</hgroup>
    
    			<?php
    				// Check to see if the header image has been removed

    				if ( $header_image ) :
    					// Compatibility with versions of WordPress prior to 3.4.
    					if ( function_exists( 'get_custom_header' ) ) {
    						// We need to figure out what the minimum width should be for our featured image.
    						// This result would be the suggested width if the theme were to implement flexible widths.
    						$header_image_width = get_theme_support( 'custom-header', 'width' );
    					} else {
    						$header_image_width = HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH;
    					}
    					?>

    						// Houston, we have a new header image!

    ok ! You use this function : get_header_image

    Actually, I don’t think that you can use this function with PolyLang.

    You can de-activate the synchronization in Polylang.
    Just add this line:
    define('PLL_SYNC', false);
    either in your wp-config.php or in a new file named pll-config.php (to be placed the wp-content/polylang/ directory – you have to create the directory too). See also at the end of the Polylang documentation.

    Hey thanks VERY MUCH for your help Chouby! I think it works ?? Much, much appreciated! Does this have any noticeable side effects to the general behaviour of Polylang?

    Cheers,

    The only effect is that all categories, tags and metas associated to posts are no more synchronized between translations (they are still copied though).
