Can I change the header image per category on a wordpress theme?
Posted by: | Commentswordpress theme Question: Can I change the header image per category on a wordpress theme?
I have a blog that has a lot of different categories to it, and I wanted to make the header image change depending on the category. I’m using a pre-made theme that allows for the header image to change randomly, but there’s no way to be specific about when to change the header image. Does anyone know how to do this?
P.S., if you can find step by step details, I would very much appreciate it.

Would you be able to post the PHP code of that pre-made random header image changer? And if you can post the code that handles the category. You might be able to hard-code it to pick a certain image depending on the category. Something like:
[pseudocode]
if category is computers, use netbook_image.jpg for header
else if category is autos, use ferrari_image.jpg for header
else if category is health, use yoga_image.jpg for header
etc

New Theme: Pilcrow
Posted by: | CommentsNew Theme: Pilcrow
If you want a simple and clean blog theme that you can customize to suit your needs I think you’ll like the one we’re introducing today. It’s called Pilcrow.
The Pilcrow Themes default look
Pilcrow is an upgrade to the older PressRow theme we’ll begin phasing out next week. But Pilcrow isn’t just a simple replacement. We’ve pulled out all the stops to make sure it’s a better theme all around.
Pilcrow keeps the familiar, simple and clean PressRow look but we’ve expanded its basic design over six possible layouts and up to four sidebars and widget areas. The choice of theme layout is all yours.
Pilcrows six possible layouts
In addition to multiple layouts you also have your choice of four different color schemes, light, dark, red, and brown. If you visit Appearance → Background you can customize the background of any of the color schemes and upload your own custom background image.

Pilcrow also has a fully customizable header. From Appearance → Header you can upload your own header image, change the header text color, or even choose to hide the header text altogether. If you want a special header image for a particular post or page, you can upload a Featured Image from the post and page edit screens!
The Pilcrow theme is available today in Appearance → Themes and will soon be available in the WordPress Themes Directory, for self-hosted WordPress.org users.
- The main column width is 500 except in the full-width layout where it’s 990.
- The custom header dimensions are 770 by 200 for two-column and 990 by 257 for wide layouts.
- The sidebar width is 230.
- The secondary sidebar width in 3-column layouts is 180 and both sidebars are 205 where there is a sidebar on either side of the content.
