Good day to all,

Ok, I have a bit of a problem here, and after reading a few post in the coding section, I beleive that there may be a light at the end of the tunnel!

Story line...

I am presently working on a Wordpress theme called Flexx Professional (latest version). One of the top features of this theme is that it offers ‘Rotating’ images in the header. In other words, once you have set up your background, you have a choice in inserting different ‘images’ as a header with fade value etc.
This theme is CMS ready, and is perfect for building a website and blog.
Now, the ‘Rotating’ image feature is applicable to all pages. In other words, you do not have a choice. From a static page to your blog, this feature is ever present.

Question:
How does one change the coding in this case php, so that you may have a ‘single’ image on the blog page and single post page? In other words, no rotating images, and only ‘one’ image as header.

What have I tried?

I have installed the Dynamic Headers 3.4.7 plugin, but to save my life, 'dropping' the piece of php coding that they recommend into the header.php file does not work. i.e. header is doubled or does not ‘rotate’.
I have looked into the php Conditional Tags...I almost have it figured out…but still not working .
I have posted at the Wordpress forum...and have not found the right answer yet!

So, what I am asking here is the following:
What is the coding to use to create the header on the page? And where should it be added..in the header.php or index.php (have tried both

)
I have a feeling that I have it almost figured out with the Conditional Tags…still something is missing!!

Any suggestions is more than welcomed and you can PM me if you wish to do so!

Thanking you all in advance!

Not sure I completely understand, but I'll give this a shot.

If you want to disable the rotating images, you could try commenting out the javascript that runs the crossslider - first found in the <head> of the document:

Code:

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://flexxtheme.ithemes.com/professional/wp-content/themes/FlexxProfessional/lib/featured-images/js/jquery.cross-slide.js?ver=2.7-RC1'></script>

And then further down is this:

Code:

<script type='text/javascript'>
		/* <![CDATA[ */
			jQuery(function($) {$(document).ready(function() {
				$('#title').crossSlide(
					{sleep: 2, fade: 1, debug: true},
					[
					{src: 'http://flexxtheme.ithemes.com/professional/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/flexx-professional-header1.jpg', href: 'http://flexxtheme.ithemes.com/professional'},
{src: 'http://flexxtheme.ithemes.com/professional/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/flexx-professional-header1b.jpg', href: 'http://flexxtheme.ithemes.com/professional'},
{src: 'http://flexxtheme.ithemes.com/professional/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/flexx-professional-header2.jpg', href: 'http://flexxtheme.ithemes.com/professional'},
{src: 'http://flexxtheme.ithemes.com/professional/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/flexx-professional-header2b.jpg', href: 'http://flexxtheme.ithemes.com/professional'}
					]
				);
			});});
		/* ]]> */
	</script>

This is right before the closing </head> tag. Your code might look a bit different because your path to the file(s) will be different.

I would either comment out this code, or cut/paste it into a .txt file in case you want it back or this isn't solving the problem.

Not sure if this will solve your problem - or if I am understanding what you are talking about for sure. I think you just want a stationary, regular header image, and not the sliding stuff.

Thank you for your reply!

And yes, I do want to disable it, but only on one page, which in this case is the Blog page, and single post page.

You see, this is presently being used as a website, with blog attached. So on the website pages the Rotating headers are ok, it's only the blog side that needs to be changed.

On the other hand, you just made me realize that I never did look at the Javascript..

Thank you for the code I am going to try this and see...!

Jules to the rescue

Just checking in to see if you were able to resolve your issue Christiane?

Thank you Tess!

To be honest...No! Which I did find agravating to say the least! Also, being a total 'newbie' to php and studborn on top of that...well, needless to say that I lost numerous hours working around something that was totally 'alien' to me!

In the end, realizing that I was loosing more time than anything, I simply moved on!

I know, this is not the way to do things, and I usualy will dig until I do find the answer, but in this case this is my new Wordpress website that I am working on, and it has to be out by the first week of January 2010!!

So ... I found another template, and started all over again!

Now, if you do have an answer...I would love to hear it, as I am working more and more with php, and hey, there is always something new to learn!

All the best in the New Year!

I misunderstood your question at first but in order for me to be able to help you, I must see the actual code, if you paste the header code in here, I will be able to look at it and let you know how this can be done...
