How to add different header image for every page

  • Also, it wouldn’t be home #banner. It would either be .home or body.home #banner.

    A name on it’s own refers to a html element:

    html

    <body>

    CSS

    body {background: #fff; }

    A name with a period in front, refers to a class:
    `
    html

    <body class='home'>

    CSS

    .home {background: #fff}

    And a name with a # in front refers to an ID.

    html

    <body id='home'>

    CSS

    #home {background: #fff; }

    CSS can be very frustrating as it is an incredibly complex subject but don’t worry, we’ll get you there.

    to be honest with u m8 im lost right now i know the pages id apart from home its just https://localhost/wordpress/ and how do i put hte id into the css:
    body.ID2 #banner {background: #fff url(images/WidgetTop.png) no-repeat top center;}

    lol my about page is ID2 sorry for confusion

    OK, if your home page has no classes on the body tag, you can just use the body selector:

    body #banner { background: url(images/bannerHome.png); }

    Then, for your other pages, use the id:

    body.page-id-560 #banner { background: url(images/bannerAbout.png) }

    A tag and a class selector will over-ride just a tag on its own.

    Right, load up your about page, then right-click anywhere in the browser window and hit ‘View Source’. Look for your <body> tag and see what classes you’ve got going on there. It will say something like

    <body class='page page-id-506...'>

    It’s the page-id-506 you need to reference with your stylesheet.

    Your number will be different – if your ID is 2, it will be

    body.page-id-2 {background: url(images/WidgetTop.png) no-repeat top center; }

    Hi there, Im using marcovidor’s method and it works brilliantly:

    <div class="banner">
<?php if(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'banner', true)) : ?>
<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'banner', true); ?>" />
<?php else : ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<div>

    However, it doesn’t seem to work for posts as well. I know it probably wasn’t meant for posts, but I was just wondering if anyone knew how to adapt the code to include a custom header within posts as well. I would be very gratefull for your help.

    Thanks

    expand it with ‘elseif’s https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_if_else.asp

    for instance:

    <?php
if(is_page('About')) { echo 'class="aboutpageclass"'; }
elseif(is_page('Contact')) { echo 'class="contactpageclass"'; }
elseif(is_page('Home')) { echo 'class="homepageclass"'; }
// continue with elseif lines //
else { echo 'class="normalclass"'; }
?>

    Hi! I’m a fresh newbie in WP. I love to change and create my own WP header but it seems too difficult for me to do so, compared to blogger.com

    By the way, there is 12 new niche site themes for WordPress such as Computer and internet-related niches, Mortgage and home-related niches, and other more. You can take a look on them here.

    All that niche sites is SEO friendly menu automatically generated based on WordPress page titles, with high CTR AdSense placement on every page.

    nice to share with you guys.

    thank you alchymyth you a genius it works thank you very much

    I used marcovidor’s solution 

    <div class="banner">
<?php if(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'banner', true)) : ?>
<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'banner', true); ?>" />
<?php else : ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<div>

    and with some hacking (had to erase a default header that my theme got built in to the functions.php file & adapt widths of the header) got it to work great!

    I’m trying to add a different background image to each page.
    I tried the below code and it works for the header but how do I place it in the background. 

    <div class="banner">
<?php if(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'banner', true)) : ?>
<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'banner', true); ?>" />
<?php else : ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<div>

    I figure it out.
    super simple code with the addition of the body class
