UPDATED: Version 2.8 released 11/14/05. Download now!
NOTE: Please note that this plugin doesn’t support Wordpress 2.3. However, you can find a wonderful remake here that does.
Yay! After a lot of work, the new version of the Image Headline Plugin is available. This plugin was originally written by Joel Bennett but it’s come a long way since the beginning. New features in this version include:
- Excellent integration into the WordPress 1.5 Strayhorn administration interface.
- Gorgeous anti-aliased, soft shadows.
- Easier than ever to configure.
So, if you’re ready to take a gander, go on and tell me what you think. If you do end up using the plugin, please leave me a comment here with a link to your site so I can see the results! I’d love to see what you guys come up with.

Thanks for replying, CF. It’s nice to get an award, even if it’s the “Funky Behavior Of The Day” award.
I’m on pair.com. Here’s some environment info:
OS: FreeBSD
Server Software: Apache/1.3.29
PHP Version: 4.3.10
MySQL Version: 4.0.16
Any other info that would help?
Sorry about messing up that link, but you got it. Here is it again:

Spam Karma is now disabled and the same problem occurs.

Adam Says:February 21st, 2005 at 2:05 pm
I didn’t use echo. Could be the problem?

Scott, could you disable Spam Karma temporarily and try again please?
Adam, that code you see in comment 27:
(minus the DAMNED backslashes) is the full PHP call. You can see it in action here, verbatim. Note that that is using the aforementioned RunPHP plugin.

Hmm…I know this is going to seem like beating me over the head, but you can post your sample code with the full php call? I must be doing something wrong. Thanks.

Scott Says:February 21st, 2005 at 1:20 pm
Thanks for the reply Coldforged. I’ve now included the ‘-image-’ text in the post page…and it works on the post page. However, the main site does not work any longer. http://www.illiteratewithdrawal.com does not load when ‘-image-’ is included (remove it and the main page works). However, a direct link to a specific post does work: http://www.illiteratewithdrawal.com/2005/02/spam-karma/.
In regards to the Options not available for the plugin, I have these plugins activated: Header Image Generator, Spam Karma, and WP Plugin Manager.
Thanks for the help.

Sorry Adam, works as I described in comment #27. Remember not to include the backslashes.

If you mean on the individual entry pages, you’ll need to do the same change you made on your Main Template to the other templates (ie. the archives template, the single template, the page template, etc).
Let me double-check the method.

thanks doublecheckign the cache path solved the “previe” problem. Now (another newbie question), how can I get this image headline on each and everyone of my posts?
Thanks for your time and help

I tried to get non-post images to work, but didn’t have any luck either. I tried it in the template (index) and in other pages (that are also php). No luck. It works great on the_title, but nothing else.
If anybody has it working, I’d also love to know how.
