[SOLVED] post-specific header image w/ css insert (page-specific ones work, but not o

Could someone clue me in as to the proper code/css insert to get a different header to display on the homepage vs post pages. (I've gotten it to work for static pages, but not for posts.) Here is the wesbite and my inserted code:

http://www.hershnerhunter.com/blog/?p=158

Code:

body.home div#imagecontainer {

background-image: url(http://hershnerhunter.com/blog/wp-content/header-images/hershner_hunter_lawyers_1.jpg)

}



body.page-id-158 div#imagecontainer {

background-image: url(http://hershnerhunter.com/blog/wp-content/header-images/hershner_hunter_lawyers_1b.jpg)

}



body.page-id-151 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-149 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-148 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-146 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-144 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-46 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-44 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-42 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-40 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-37 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-55 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-49 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-34 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-19 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-23 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-4 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-6 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-55 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-10 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-12 div#imagecontainer,

body.page-id-21 div#imagecontainer {

background-image: url(http://hershnerhunter.com/blog/wp-content/header-images/hershner_hunter_lawyers_1b.jpg)

}

If you look at the generated source of your home page and locate '<body' you will see

HTML Code:

<body class="home blog logged-in">

so the CSS Selector will be 'body.home' in place of 'body.page-id-xx'

It's the post (page id 158) that's not referencing the alternate image properly.) The homepage works fine, as do all of the static pages.

if you look at the <body. you will find '<body class="single postid-158">' so use 'body.postid-158'

Hi Juggledad,

I'm trying to sort this out also.
I have 4 pages so far:
Static Home page (<body class="home page page-id-18 page-template-default">)
Blog page (<body class="blog">)
For Garden Centers page (<body class="page page-id-14 page-template-default">)
A Test blog page (<body class="single single-post postid-49 single-format-standard">)

I want different header images for each, but I want to specify for each page which image I want.

In Style and Edit Area I put:
<div id="header-image-div>%image</div>
<div id="page-menu-div">%page-center</div>

First of all, do all images still need to be in Atahualpa/images/header? or can they be in the upload folder? Does it matter?
right now I have a "dummy" image in the header folder, and the rest in the wordpress uploads folder, as I wasn't sure. The dummy displays just fine, and says on it "from atahualpa/images/header folder", so I could see which image was being displayed.

Then, in the css inserts, for the blog page I have:

/*--------------------------------*/
/* blog header image */
/* NOT WORKING */
/*--------------------------------*/
body.blog div#header-image-div {
display: block;
width: 990px;
height: 375px;
background:
url('http://youcangrowthat.com.s52126.gridserver.com/wp-content/uploads/bg_blog_pagetop.jpg')
top center no-repeat;) important!;
}

/* -------------------------------------------------------*/
/* background image for page menus */
/* THIS IS WORKING, but for all pages */
/* -------------------------------------------------------*/
div#page-menu-div {

width: 990px;
height: 24px;
background:
url('http://youcangrowthat.com.s52126.gridserver.com/wp-content/uploads/ycgt_bgmenu.jpg')
top center no-repeat;);
}

/* -------------------------------------------------------*/
/* background image for sidebars and content */
/* -------------------------------------------------------*/

/*-------------------*/
/* home page - id 18 */
/* THIS IS WORKING for all pages */
/*-------------------*/
tr#bodyrow {
width: 990px;
height: 1086px;
background:
url('http://youcangrowthat.com.s52126.gridserver.com/wp-content/uploads/ycgt_bgbottom.jpg')
top center no-repeat;);
}

/* blog page */
/* NOT WORKING */

body.page-id-12 tr#bodyrow {
width: 990px;
background:
url('http://youcangrowthat.com.s52126.gridserver.com/wp-content/uploads/bg_blog_pagebottom.jpg')
top center no-repeat;);
}

I think it's referencing specific pages (and bodyrow) that is the problem, and I can't tell you all the different variations I've tried. I looked at the post for http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthr...hlight=page-id and http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthr...der+image+page among others, but I can't quite get it right.

the site (in progress) is http://youcangrowthat.com.s52126.gridserver.com/

Ignore the ugly sidebars - that will be fixed if I can get the correct images to display.

Can you straighten me out?

Ok, after I posted that I changed the references to the blog page to body.blog... for

body.page-id-12 tr#bodyrow {
changed to
body.blog tr#bodyrow {

and that works.

I changed the menu styling
div#page-menu-div {
to
body.blog

and that works

so now at least the correct bodyrow image and menu for the blog home page works, but not the correct header image. I'll keep at it.

It never fails that after I ask the question, I discover (at least one) answer!

Ugh, sorry, I meant to say:

div#page-menu-div {
for the blog page was changed to
body.blog div#page-menu-div {
which works.

Anyway, the blog menu and bodyrow works now, but not the header.

OK, question about where the header images have to be is yes, in the atahualpa header folder.

Blog images all work now, just have to figure out the rest. Sorry for posting this too soon, but I've been working on this all day, and until I posted, I couldn't figure it out! Murphy strikes again!

Nope, it's rotating the images in the header folder.

So, It looks like they cannot be in the header folder after all.

Are you looking to have rotating headers on one of the pages? if not shut it off

I didn't know you could shut it off, but no, I just wanted different header images on each page.

But, wonder of wonders, I finally figured it out! I had to figure out which parts of the above thread applied to me. But also, I long for the days of compilers that caught typos and syntax errors!

Anyway, thanks for responding, and for all the great information here. Sometimes it takes awhile to get it all straight, but when it's done, it feels SO good!

Thanks!
