Q: How can I use this plug-in with Twenty Ten/Eleven theme?
A: The best idea is to create a child theme indeed, someone already tried it: http://blog.duncanmoran.net/archives/1436
Q: How can I set the order of the pictures?
A: First rename the pictures like this: 01-pic, 02-pic, 03-pic and finally upload them.
Q: Why when I refresh the page then the rotation does not start from first picture even if shuffle images is turned off?
A: Because the plug-in calculates a time frame where every picture should be positioned based on the swap rate and the total amount of uploaded pictures and then this time frame is assigned to this picture in this moment.
Q: Images never load, “Loading images…” stays always there, what happened?
A1: Did you install recently a plug-in? If yes try to isolate it, most probably it is its fault due to wrong inclusion of jQuery script. Its author should fix this referring to WordPress documentation: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script
A2: If did not help then probably you have selected Slide effect and you did not read that your images should be bigger than the div so: reduce the div dimensions and/or reduce the speed of this effect.
A3: If still did not help then probably you loaded too big images (the file size) and takes too long to load all of them.
Q: When feature XYZ will be added?
A: I don’t know, remember that this is a 100% free project so answer is “When I have time and/or when someone help me with a donation”.
Q: Can I help with a donation?
A: Sure, visit the donation page or contact me via e-mail.
Q: Can I hack this plug-in and hope to see my code in the next release?
A: For sure, this is just happened and can happen again if you write useful new features and good code. Try to see how I maintain the code and try to do the same (or even better of course), I have rules on how I write it, don’t want “spaghetti code”, I’m Italian and I want spaghetti only on my plate.
There is no guarantee that your patch will hit an official upcoming release of the plug-in, but feel free to do a fork of this project and distribute it, this is GPL!
Q1: I have found a bug what can I do?
Q2: Something does not work as expected, why?
A: The first thing is to download the latest version of the plug-in and see if you still have the same issue.
If yes please write me an email or write a comment but give as more details as you can, like:
- Plug-in version
- WordPress version
- MYSQL version
- PHP version
- exact error that is returned (if any)
after describe what you did, what you expected and what instead the plug-in did 
Then the MOST important thing is: DO NOT DISAPPEAR!
A lot of times I cannot reproduce the problem and I need more details, so if you don’t check my answer then 80% of the times bug (if any) will NOT BE FIXED!

We originally had it fading and now I can’t seem to recall how we had that set up. Currently, we actually had the Ken Burns effect selected. I tried to provide lots of information–what else would be helpful to know.
Jen M.
No you didn’t provide enough information and obviously you did not read the FAQ where already I ask for some of them.
Also would be nice to see a screenshot of the actual settings and not a description of them.
Looks like I got it working again, although I’m not particularly sure how.
I reset the transition to “static” and repasted the code in and it seems fine. Just wish I knew why it suddenly stopped working. Thanks!!
Jen M.
I am quite sure if you back to Ken Burns effect you’ll have problems again, but if you insist in NOT providing more info as asked many times then I cannot make miracles.
Is it possible to have the images linked to certain posts? Or to have the images pulled from a category with featured images?
Zeaks:
Links are available, just add the url next to the image.
Images no, should be re-uploaded.
Hi Marco
Fantastic Plugin.
At the moment, when you click on an image, it opens in a new window, can you tell me where the href: ‘link’ html is so I can delete the ‘link’ and have the image open a link on the site, not a new window.
Thankyou
Gary
Please check comments, has been asked many times already.
Since v5.0.0 you can change this behaviour from the back-end.
I updated the image rotation plugin and it won’t let me delete any of the pics. How can I fix this?
Indeed I introduced a bug, will fix it shortly.
v5.0.2 fixes this issue.
Excuse ignorance, but I dont know where to insert the code.
There is nothing in the faqs
Clearly you did not read the faq.
Love the rotator – but I’m trying to turn it off on just this one page: http://www.troutmanphoto.com/index.php/about/seniors-photo-shoots/high-school-senior-photos/
I plugged this in a year ago and can’t figure out how i combined it w/ Suffision. I’m sure this is easy and I’m just missing something pretty basic.
In the php file where you added the plug-in’s code you can add an IF the page id is NOT equal to the one mentioned then print the code otherwise nothing.

I have seen a number of people use this plugin. While it looks nice, I have never seen anyone use it to actually rotate the header image – by which I mean the image that is actually in the WordPress header. That image is a background image defined in the css. I don’t think this plugin can be used to rotate the header background image, is that right?
As the plug-in’s name suggests you can rotate images with this plug-in. You can even see in action in this website at the main plug-in’s page.
Also without presenting any evidence to what you are saying you are just spreading FUD here.
I am only asking for information. Are you saying that this plugin will rotate the image that is defined as the header background in the css? For example, would it rotate your header image (which is currently a photo of the ocean)?
Or will it just rotate images (not background images) in a div that is not the WordPress header?
Thanks for any advice.
Correct rotates everything that is in the specified div wherever is.
I should remove “Header” from the name of the plug-in.
See it in action (end of the page):

Hi
Just installed the Cimy Header Image Rotator, and it works fine… but I am having a problem with the dropdown menus displaying under the images. Is that away to fix that?
Please check site: http://www.apostas24.com/
Thanks for any help.
Joao
Plug-in’s css uses z-index: 1 so you have to assign also that to your menus but a greater number.

Hello – Please see the link: http://www.southtexastv.com/wordpress/brownsville – The banner should be running right under the green area. All the code is there, I have one image uplaoded – and nothing. I have uninstalled and re-installed numerous times. Even tried it on a dummy page with only the banner code, still nothing. Please help. Thanks
Image you loaded seems inaccessible that’s why probably:
http://www.southtexastv.com/wordpress/wp-content/Cimy_Header_Images/0/amberjackBanner.jpg
I have the folder created in the wp-content folder as per instructions. I have one image in there (I can see it on my server in the correct directory). I have tried multiple images, still no luck. I just added another image and still does not work. Other suggestions? Thanks
Again:
500 – Internal server error.
This is your server issue not my plug-in, check server’s log.
thanks. will check
I recently changed permalink, will that effect it? I am getting a URL Rewrite Module Error
I put permalinks back to default and it works…so it does appear the plug-in has an issue with permalinks. Can you help me? Thanks
AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN and AGAIN:
YOUR server has issues NOT my plug-in. You probably enabled permalinks that needs mod-rewrite module to be installed and enabled in your Apache.
Also Apache’s config should be fixed to allow that.
If you do that all posts and pages will stop to work also, NOT only my plug-in.
Please stop posting here about your server issues, you are totally off topic.
WOW! such anger. i have installed the re-write mod and the site works except you plugin. I talked to my server guy and he said that the images called in your plug-in should have the full qualified URL – wordpress/wp-content/Cimy_Header_Images/0/amberjackBanner.jpg in your image call. Unfortunately you think this is a server error but I have the whole site working with the permalink change, just not your plug-in working.
Urls used by the plug-in are absolute what are you talking about?
Have you added the .htaccess file as suggested? Have you changed AllowOverride in the apache config?
http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Fixing_Other_Issues
Since I do use permalinks too and my plug-in works perfectly, you have to convince me a little harder that is my plug-in’s issue.
Not everybody is a s smart as you and you want to attack me because of that. I guess it will just be easier to find a different plug-in than try to get help from you. .htaccess added. I am using windows server and IIS 7. If you have it wirking, why is it so hard to show me the code to get mine to work?
There is nothing to show, you just have to figure out why your server has issues.
Since I am not your employee is not my job doing that.
Imaging if I have to fix server’s configs for all users that use my plug-ins… for free. Is that reasonable for you?
I am not expecting you to fix server. Permalinks is configured and works for everything BUT your plug-in, hence my confusion.
I am using adventure journal theme. I can put in an image on a page and that works
but how do i direct it to change the header?
I am not understanding the question. Are you asking how to rotate the images? Load the image into the plug-in, setup your favourite settings and copy the code suggested wherever you want.
Not quite sure how to re-size the width. Shouldn’t 900 pix do it. I changed from default size with no change and I did a refresh on the site.
Your images are too big, in this case I always recommend to resize them with an image editor to the exact width you want to display, also because you are forcing people to download A LOT of KB for nothing.
I am familiar with re-sizing. what are the numbers under the DIV ID and what is default?
Thank you
Robert it depends on your theme, I cannot know!
Install Firebug for Firefox and use it to understand your theme’s values.
the last time I installed the plugin I had no problem and I didn’t resize the jpegs. I am using the suffusion theme.
Also I have tried to send in support money twice. I tried cash form my bank through Pay Pay and also a direct pay with a credit card. Neither would go through. I have been using both before and since with no problems.
It is not my accounts.
Bob
I resized to 900 pix and that seems to be the right size. I don’t see any instructions on how to resize the height of the banner. Is that hidden in the code?
The idea is you give the div dimension equal to your image size.
I have tried different combinations and resized image and nothing seems to change. I also uninstalled and reinstalled twice but no help. Also I am very willing to contribute but your Pay Pal links seems to be broken since I tried 3 different times and yet I just successfully sent a contributution to another plug in developer
I don’t know what to do because the last time I used it it worked perfectly.
Ok that time Pay pal worked
Hello Marco!
I have an issue with this plugin. It simply doesn’t work.
I have 3.2.1 WordPress, 5.2.17 PHP, 5.0.51a (?) MySQL, 1.6.3 jQuery manually added and 5.0.2 Cimy Image Rotator. No other plugin has been added or activated yet.
I have created the folder you wrote, added the 777 to it, uploaded some pictures, copy and paste the code but it always displays the “Loading images…” text. (My 2 uploaded pictures are 135kb and 138kb)
What did I do wrong?
Thank you!
I checked and seems your theme is actually interfere-ring. It is preventing to properly load my JavaScript! Can you try with a different theme?
Thanks for fast response!
Sure, I could try, but I would like to use it with my own template. Anyway, i tried it in the twenty eleven theme (you can see this now on http://www.stiluseskuvoszervezes.hu) and it’s working.
What do you mean by “interfere-ring”?
Surely you want to use it, but is buggy.
It is loading own JavaScripts (own JQuery and more) and is also preventing other plug-ins to do the same, this is harassing.
So if you use that theme you need to know that is not well developed to live with other plug-ins like mine. Nothing I can do.
Hmm… Allright, then I try to develop my theme another way.
Anyway, thank you!
I am sure you are using incorrectly some hooks, for more details send a donation and I can look at it.
I just have a quick question about this plugin. I’ve searched through all 9 pages of comments and the FAQ and documentation.
Is there a way to make it so the images don’t loop? Can it simply run through the slides one time and stop? I don’t see it in the settings, so I’m assuming it’s a no. I just wanted to check to be sure.
Thanks for any info on this.
Andrea
Not possible indeed.
Hello Marco
I’m using artisteer to create my wp-template.
Can you tell me where exactly I have to copy the generated script into the header.php?
I can not find any url in this original script
Thank you very much
frank
As said many times there is no A place where to put the script, depends where you want to put it. So I cannot answer these kind of questions.
Oh
Sorry, you’re right! I want to put this rotator into the header’s background
greetings
from bolzano
frank
salve marco.
anch’io ho lo stesso problema, non riesco a copiare lo script che il tuo plugin genera, nella header del mio wp-templates generato da Artisteer.
Riesci ad aiutarmi??
Grazie. Luigi
ci sono riuscito.
bisogna dare la div il nome art-header e sostituire nella pagina page.php il generato dal template.
nel file css modificare le impostazioni presenti nel div di style.css.
così di riesce a gestire le immagini in background ed eventuali loghi e titoli del blog in foreground. grazie ancora per il plug-in. ciao
Hi Marco,
Is it possible to rotate 3 images side by side with this plugin? 3 separately contained images…like you see on the top of the homepage: http://031e216.netsolhost.com/atlas/
Thank you!
Katie
Yes since v5.0 this is possible.
How do I apply it to the images separately? They are featured images of my “extra posts” in my theme.
You have to create three different profiles in the plug-in’s admin area, load the images accordingly and copy the three different parts of code in your theme, replacing old ones.
Errrggh having trouble finding where to replace the code in the css…..
Hi, at my page http://www.nordlyskarate.no, i try to ise the cimy image rotator to show pictures at the sidepar, i have set the image direction to my gallry.
but i got one problem, all the images shows, but only the side corner of the image, how do i force the plugin to show the whole picture?
You are trying to show 1936×1288 images on a much smaller space, plug-in does not resize images for you.
So i if i just resize them, it will work ?
Sure.
Having trouble with image alignment- I uploaded 2 images with the same pixel dimensions and one of them displays lower than the other, some of my images are cut off at the bottom but they wouldn’t be if they were aligned at the top of the window… what’s going on?
And how can I know if you don’t show me the code/website?
Firstly, Excellent plugin,
With regards to the captions.
I have increased the side of the caption display box (http://innerboard.com/ this is a text template/site) and I would like to be able to use html to format a longer caption (with a title then a description) when adding the caption on the admin page.
Is this/could this be possible
thanks
For security reasons html is disabled, sorry. You can only modify the css as you did already.
How can i preload the pictures befor the page is starting?
I have many pictures , the size is 544X224
thanks
Irith
The pictures are already preloading, but if they are too many the page will load faster than them. If you want that this preload hangs the page then is not possible.
i reduced the number of the pictures but it still takes time until the first picture appears
It is a known issue, all the images should be loaded first.
OK, I’m having trouble getting the images to size with the page when the browser’s resized. The rest of my layout shrinks or expands to its max, but the header image stays the same no matter what I do. I tried a couple things I thought would work — not help. What am I missing? I can’t have the rest of the site sizing right and a header image just staying the same width…
Url?
I have added a config #1. is same size as .jpg file. I can see the place holder on the site, but no image appears. I can change background color and it works. There is a folder called “1″ with images in it and this folder is in the same directory as the “0″ folder. Why can’t I see images? My first instance of this plug-in is visible on the web page and works fine.
Provide an url!
Sorry, no. I have moved on to other plug-in. I have read every post. FAQ and documentation and have come to the conclusion that it is best for me to avoid you. Have you ever thought of anger management classes?
I pasted code in functions php, which seems to be a mistake (I’ve just started wordpress).
When I erased the code, the whole page disapeared. The suport team of my host helped me, but they didn’t eraze that code. They said: quastion mark and slash was missing.
I should erase the code and paste it again in header. php, but I’m worrying the page will disapear again. Deactivating and activating the plugin doesn’t help.
Could you advise anything to a beginner like me?
The plugin seems to change the page in a wonderful way so I’m willing to work on it for a while.
Beginners should never try to modify php files for a live website, this is my 1st advise. Read the FAQ and try on a test environment first.
“Beginners should never try to modify php files for a live website”
You’re absolutely right, but…every beginner must “cross Rubicon river” and close the “beginner stage”:)
I already read everything but still need your help. Can you link me to this mysterious “test environment”? Should I create a “treining www site”?
Yes that was a suggestion, I am not providing anything but the plug-in.
If you need further help send a donation and details about what you want to achieve.
Hello Marco. excellent plugin you’ve created. I thank you for it. I followed the steps of the FAQ blog on how to place it in the header but got no where. Perhaps you know another source with more precise examples for a newbie to replace the twenty eleven header photo?
http://empresasconstructorasenlima.pe/
In the FAQ there is already a link for a tutorial how to create a child theme for Twenty Ten theme, Twenty Eleven is similar.
Hi Marco,
I have successfully implemented the plugin and it looks great. However, I have a post-installation question.
The plugiin is implemented in each post inside DIVs (not in the Header or Sidebar PHPs).
I checked out the source code for each of the webpages and it looks like the plugin is loading the scripts for the whole of the image directory into each webpage.
Is this normal behaviour to load the whole of the image directory or should the plugin only load the images specific to each individual page?
regards
For now yes it cannot know where you want it, so it does like that.
