Please someone help!

I don’t want to start another string – but I need to get someone’s attention! I really would like to use a wp template but I need each page to have a different image. How do I make the page template call up a different header image?

I’m using the

Thanks

Sorry – Link to site is: https://plainlycreativeworks.com/wordpress/

The theme is: Reds 3.0 by miloIIIIVII

I found another topic “Theme with multiple headers” at
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/166747?replies=2

They were discussing what I want to do but I have not received a response yet. I know how to create a page template so that a drop down menu appears in the WRITE/PAGE area of wp – but I don’t know how to make a page template bring up a different header.

If I create a header1.php file what code do I edit to make wp bring up a different image?

I tried just replacing reds.jpg with a new name in the css stylesheet but did not call up my new background file. I could not find the file reds.jpg being referenced to by any other file within the theme. What files do I need to edit and how?

Sure appreciate some light on this subject – or I may have to take a whole different approach on this website so that each page can have a different image behind the logo.

This is some of the stylesheet code:

body {
font-size: 90%;
font-family: Tahoma, ‘Times New Roman’, Serif;
color: #fff;
text-align: left;
background: #000;
background-image:url(images/reds.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: top left fixed;
}
#header {
background: transparent;
height: 0;
margin:0;
}

Thanks

I understand creating a new page template by adding: the code

<?php
/*
Template Name: Page1
*/
?>

but is this….

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

adding in the new page1.php file? If so, where?

Also what code do you change in the header.php to create a new header1.php? I could not find anything code referencing a specific template or image file in the header.php

Can you help! I’m just so glad you can change the header in every page. That’s exactly what I need!

Kathi

Is it possible to edit the code so that each page calls up a different header IMAGE?

K

I would like to edit the code so that each page calls up a different header. Just adding this to this topic as well…thanks.

Kathi

Also… I forgot to add. I want to keep all the same formating that I chanaged in the style.css file. I just want the background to change.

I would like to have a different image in every page template I create. What code do you add to what file?

I opened page.php – gave it a new name – e.g. photography.php

Do I add the above code in the photography.php file?

Kathi

I don’t know if this helps. A bit redundant, but I could not get the Page Template dropdown box either. I tried REFRESH but it did not help me.

But what appears to have worked is when I cleared all PRIVATE DATE informaton in firefox (Tools/Clear Private Data/Browsing History, Saved Form Search History, Cache and AUTHENTICATED Sessions) BEFORE clicking on REFRESH on the WordPress/Write/Page

This is probably obvious to all of you – but be sure the template name in your code matches the name of the new php file. This had happened to me “way back”, I had used – in the template name, but named the file with an underscore _(a note in case a newy like me visits this blog!)

Open: page.php
Rename file for example: photography.php
Insert code at the top

<?php
/*
Template Name: photography
*/
?>

Fortunately, I’m one of the blessed right now who can see the dropdown box!

Kathi

Okay – everyone sick of me! I don’t know why “SEND TO EDITOR” did not work before. Now it is.

Thanks to me being just a bit more patient hu?

To clean up my incorrect information….

created a folder named “images” in the wp-content folder did NOT fix the problem. WP did makes it’s own “upload” folder when I used the built in uploader. Still need help on inserting an image in a post though!

Kathi again

Nope – I got the image to appear in the “browse” panel – but how do you insert it into your post? I click on the insert image icon in the “write” area and an empty window opens that I can not close. What am I doing wrong??

Anyone?

Kathi

I think I just answered my own question. I did not see this written in any How To WordPress documents. But I created a folder named “images” in the wp-content folder. It appears it may work now.

I need even more help! I can’t upload images by using the upload built within the write post/page.

I browse to upload an image – but then when I try to insert the image in my post just an empty window opens on the screen. What do I do?
