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.

I would love to use this plug-in on my site, but I’ve been having troubles understanding the installion instructions. I find them a big ball of confuession. If it is not too much trouble could someone tell me step by step what I download and in what directory it goes. Sorry to be a pain. Just everytime I put things where I think they are supposed to go it doesn’t work. Maybe I just need to read instructions from someone else I’ll understand better!
Thanks a bunch!

I don’t know if it’s compatible to call up the title from your categories. I haven’t used this plugin for a while, but when I did use it and had it working an example of a sidebar title was in php tags:
echo ImageHeadlinerender( ‘Links’,'fontsize=18&leftpadding=0&maxwidth=200′ );
(That’s just one space in between echo and Image, I don’t know why it’s stretching it out.)
So I’m telling it the title, which is Links, and then I’m giving it style info because they were different to my regular post title settings.
You seem to be missing an underscore and adding in italics.
Hope this works for you, sorry if it’s outdated.

God dammit! Last try (just noticed the preview at the bottom now, I’ve taken out the php tags and it should work now, doh!)
echo ImageHeadlinerender( singlecat_title() );

Appologies for the quick double post. It looks like it didn’t like the code i pasted. Here it is again (hopefully it works).

Hi,
I’m wondering if I can get some help with this plugin.
I have it working perfectly for the normal things but I’m trying to get it working with the category titles ont the category pages.
This is the code I’m using:
It doesn’t creat an image but instead just uses normal text. For example in the movies category it simply returns “Movies” and not an image+img tags.

I should have dug a little deeper >shame<. Answering my own question, yes this does work with 2.2
I needed to edit the index.php, not (or maybe in addition to) the page.php.
User error strikes again. Thanks for the great design!

Is this working with WP 2.2? I just installed the plugin today, and while I’m not getting any error messages, I’m also not getting any image titles.
Looks like a beautiful plugin - hope I can figure out what’s keeping me from getting it working!

Gah, not uname. I can’t remember the the name of it.

Yes, your server is setup to run PHP files as the apache process instead of as you. These kinds of things are addressed via “uname”, I believe, but I’m no Unix expert.

Any idea why all the files created by the plugin are own by group 48 (rather than 501) on my server? Its means I unable to move my Wordpress installation.
