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 finally got the plugin to work after trying for months. Turns out I was understanding the instructions wrong.
Anyways have a look: http://www.simplecountryliving.net/bookblog

Great plugin! Would anyone know of a way to create an alternative size of the image for just one category? In my layout there’s one category with a different width…

I love the plugin. Has anyone who’s gone to the 2.3 beta though had the title blow up on them? When I do the_title(’-image-’), replacement dies and it all shows up (i.e. “-image-She-Hulk vs Hulk”)

Try placing outline:none in your CSS for “A” tag.

Is there a way to get rid of the border around the image? I even tried to set the border to 0 pixels and that didn’t work.

I am using version 2.7 I guess, as I can’t find a link to 2.8 or maybe the author just forgot to update the version inside the file !?
here is the link: http://www.coldforged.org/image-headlines.tar.gz
besides that it is working for me (wp 2.2) will soon try to update to 2.2.1 and see if it still works.

Um hi, I’d like to use this plugin but I can’t find the download link. Can you email me the zip file?

Any chance of this being updated for WP 2.2? I would love to use this in a little project I’m working on, but it’s just not working in any way shape or form for me.
