Comments on: WordPress Custom Headers

It appears that the Twenty Ten theme handles that by adding an if statement in the header_style() function that checks to see if the header text color is blank, and if so, hides the header text:

if ( ‘blank’ == get_header_textcolor() ){

}

Oops – it didn’t paste all the code…

function header_style() {
?>
#header {
background: url() no-repeat;
height: px;
width: px;
}
#site-title h2, #site-title p {
color:#;
}

#headimg {
background: url() no-repeat;
}
}

add_custom_image_header( 'header_style', 'admin_header_style' );

Thanks for this tutorial – it helped me out.

I’m still having a problem with the “Display Text” option – it’s not clearing the text when I select “No”. (It is however changing the text color correctly when I select yes and choose a color).

Have I missed something out? Here’s my functions.php code:

// gets included in the site header
function header_style() {
?>
#header {
background: url() no-repeat;
height: px;
width: px;
}
#site-title h2, #site-title p {
color:#;
}

#headimg {
background: url() no-repeat;
}
}

add_custom_image_header( 'header_style', 'admin_header_style' );
// END Custom header image

Thanks,

Andy

Really awsome! It works great with wp 3.2.1!! Thanks a lot dear Alex!!! This small piece of script would make a great magic.

…or just upload an image that is just a single color. I know that’s not the most elegant solution, but at least it’s easy.

Unfortunately, that is a bit beyond the scope of this tutorial. I would suggest looking up the WordPress “Options API” to figure out a way to store another option in the database.
