This means that your Homepage header can be different from the header on your Contact page, for example, the Contact page could have a picture of a telephone on it, to help differentiate it from other pages. One of our favorite plugins to do this is Dynamic Headers by Nicasio Design.

Using Dynamic Headers is simple.

  1. Click on ‘Headers’ on the bottom of the left-hand navigation bar.
  2. Click on ‘Add New File’ to add a new Header or ‘Manage Files’ to manage existing headers.
  3. Upload the image you want to function as the header and fill in the alt text, link URL (optional), and link target or select an existing header and change the details.
    • You can also change the default headers for all pages and for your homepage in ‘Settings.’
  4. While writing a new post or editing an already written post, you can change the header image the post will use by scrolling down to the ‘Nicasio Dynamic Header’ box and selecting the image that you want this particular post to use.
