Thank you for the reply again. Yes I am perplexed as to why the plugin wont work with pro. It is called “Custom Header Extended” and I have switched back to the free version and now it is working the way I want it. (www.point-of-view.ca)

I want to have different header images just for the different pages and posts but I want to be able to chose which one for each without affecting the featured image. Can you think of any reason why the plugin won’t work?

[Jonathan]

Also, I tried it the way you said but when I choose to have the default as the header image it still shows the featured image for some reason. I can’t understand why.

@Jonathan: Ok is this is not working for you then you can build child theme and create functions.php file and add the following code

<?php
/**
 * Header Image
 *
 * Uses Custom Header and Featued Images
 * @Hooked in catchevolution_headercontent
 * @since Catch Evolution 1.0
 */
function catchevolution_featured_header() { 
	global $wp_query, $post, $paged, $_wp_default_headers;
	
	// Header Image
	$header_image_path = get_header_image();

	// Check if this is a post or page, if it has a thumbnail, and if it's a big one
	if ( is_singular() && current_theme_supports( 'post-thumbnails' ) &&
			has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) &&
			( /* $src, $width, $height */ $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'post-thumbnail' ) ) &&
			$image[1] >= HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH ) :
		// Houston, we have a new header image!
		echo '<div id="header-image">';
			echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID );
		echo '</div>';
	elseif ( get_header_image() ) : ?>
		<div id="header-image">
			<img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo get_custom_header()->width; ?>" height="<?php echo get_custom_header()->height; ?>" alt="" />
		</div>
	<?php endif; 
	
	
} // catchevolution_featured_header

Great that seems to be working and what I wanted it to do. But one small thing. The header text that used to be above the image is now below….can I switch that back? Also just so I know this code overrides the featured images in post correct?

Thank for the help.

p.s. please ignore my post on the other thread I just made.

@Jonathan: Then add the following code just in your functions.php file. You can place this code below the previous code.

// Remove hook from parent theme
function unhook_catchevolution_functions() {
	remove_action( 'catchevolution_before', 'catchevolution_featured_header', 10 );
}
add_action( 'init', 'unhook_catchevolution_functions' );

add_action( 'catchevolution_after_header', 'catchevolution_featured_header', 10 );

that made my site go all white again…

Sorry my mistake that worked great! Thanks that was really troubling me. Weird why the plugin wouldn’t work. With the plugin I could chose what header image I wanted for each individual post. Do you think there ill be an update for the pro so that it works like it does for the free version?

[Sakin]

@Jonathan: Actually that plugin conflict with our functions. So, we cannot add this. But yes you can use this child theme and it’s all good.
