Hi Bobby,

I’ve just created a child theme that does this. You just have to have lovecraft in your themes folder, but activate this theme and the header image will be generated from the Featured Image of the most recent post. Like this: https://changewriter.net

You can download the child theme here.

Best,
Jonathan

Ok, it turns out that the problem was being caused by a bit of PHP in my header that I was using to redirect visitors according to their language.

Thanks for your response!
I actually ended up doing it using the Maxmind Geoip database instead.

Hi there,

I’m trying to do almost the same thing, except I just want to send visitors from Sweden to https://sv.jonathanandsofia.com, whereas all other visitors would stay at https://jonathanandsofia.com.

I was wondering if you’ve found a good way to approach this?

Thanks!
Jonathan

For anyone who finds this later, I couldn’t find a way to use get_pages, so used a second loop on the page with the following code:

<?php query_posts(array('showposts' => 1, 'post_parent' => 32, 'post_type' => 'page')); ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h5><a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><span><?php the_title(); ?></span></a></h5>
<p><?php the_content(); ?></p>
<?php the_meta(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

And now it’s working as it should.

Helloooo?! Does anyone actually visit these forums? Or am I just shouting into the dark?

I finally found my answer – it seemed like whatever I tried it failed to call up a different header. Then I realised that instead of the standard get_header call in the page file I needed to use the:

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/header1.php’); ?>

call instead. It was actually in the wordpress documentation – in the Stepping Into Templates section…

I’m a relative Newbie to WordPress and PHP and was wondering if there was any chance someone could explain the process above a little more fully?

I’m currently working on 2 sites which require different header (specific – not random) images for each page and am trying to figure out the most straight forward way of doing this without having unnecessary multiple page and header templates.

Cheers.
