PrimePress Theme Support

   Hi, I've read several issues similar to mine but there remain a few mysteries I am not able to resolve, as to "how to" accomplish this:

   I want to assign a fixed image header to a specific page, and, maintain a fixed image header to all posts.

   Like this:

   post/content and single page archives = header image:'posts'

   about page = header image:'about'

   archives-list page = header image:'archives'

   gallery page/s = header image:'gallery'

   contact page = header image:'contact'

   ...etc. as content developes...

   First:

   I am directed to WP instructions that advise me to first identify the "number" of each page, respectively ("To find the Page ID, go to Pages->Edit and hover over the title of the page. The status bar of your browser will display a URL with a numeric ID at the end. This is the page ID").

   However, no such numbers appear to me in my browser (neither IE nor Firefox). THUS, I am not yet able to identify Pages-by-their-Numbers.

   == Do you know how to do that (identify the "Page number")? ==

   Second:

   I read the following information on another question here with your answer, Ravi, but I don't understand this.

   This is what you wrote:

   [BEGIN QUOTE}

   Add another line of elseif code (like how you'd do for additional Pages) but with a different conditional. here's the code:

   <?php } elseif (is_home()) { ?>
   <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/image.jpg" width="920"
   alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> header image" />

   [END QUOTE}

   I wondered if you could please be more specific for those of us who do not understand fully all of what was expressed there ^^.

   Specifically, what area of that code do I modify to include my own information (site + image name, etc. and in full hyperlink code or what), and, where do I include that?

   Appreciate any / all helps that can be provided.

   I have managed to use Primepress very well so far and am very pleased with it, but I don't understand this last hurdle and how to accomplish the specific headers-with-specific-pages and that's an essential task inorder for my site contents to make greater organizational sense.

   Fisrt Issue:
   I've been a bit busy lately and haven't checked out WordPress 2.8. The method of finding the Page ID might have changed in 2.8. I'll check it out and get back to this at a later time.

   Second:
   The code in this tutorial displays a specified image on each WordPress Page and random images everywhere else.
   The user in above question wanted to display a specific image on the posts page (his homepage) as well. So, I told him to add the necessary line to display a static image on his homepage (posts page). His code after adding this line will be like this.
   

   <?php if (is_page('28')) { ?>
   	<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/image1.jpg" width="920" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> header image" />
   <?php } elseif (is_page('26')) { ?>
   	<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/image2.jpg" width="920" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> header image" />
   <?php } elseif (is_page('30')) { ?>
   	<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/image3.jpg" width="920" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> header image" />
   <?php } elseif (is_home()) { ?>
   	<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/image4.jpg" width="920" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> header image" />
   <?php } else { ?>
   	<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/rotating.php?image=<?php echo mt_rand(0,100); ?>" width="920" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> Rotating Header Image" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> Random Header Image" />
   <?php } ?>

   Since you are using permalinks, you can type in the Page slug in place of the Page ID. The code in your case as per your requirements would be something like this.
   

   <?php if (is_home() || is_single()) { ?>
   	<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/posts.jpg" width="920" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> header image" />
   <?php } elseif (is_page('about')) { ?>
   	<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/about.jpg" width="920" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> header image" />
   <?php } elseif (is_page('archives-list')) { ?>
   	<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/archives.jpg" width="920" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> header image" />
   <?php } elseif (is_page('gallery')) { ?>
   	<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/gallery.jpg" width="920" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> header image" />
   <?php } elseif (is_page('contact')) { ?>
   	<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/contact.jpg" width="920" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> header image" />
   <?php } else { ?>
   	<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/rotating.php?image=<?php echo mt_rand(0,100); ?>" width="920" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> Rotating Header Image" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> Random Header Image" />
   <?php } ?>

   The first 2 lines in the above code block will display the image posts.jpg on your blog posts page and every single post page.
   The next 2 lines of code will display the image about.jpg on yoursite.com/about/ Page.
   and the next 2 lines will display archives.jpg on yoursite.com/archives-list/ Page
   and so on.

   Hi, Ravi, thanks for your reply, which I'll go attempt to follow now.

   But I wanted to let you know I HAVE LOCATED the Page Numbers for my Pages: looking at "Manage/Pages..." the lineup there, once hovered over each one, the page number will appear in browser window at the bottom, number at the end of the url that's displayed there.

   Now I'll read and attempt to follow the rest of your instructions, which, again, I thank you for.
