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 reach Cimy User Extra Fields, but feel free to do a fork of this project and distribuite 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!

Love the image rotator.
It is almost everything im looking for bar one thing.
I would like the ability to enable links when clicking on the images.
So if i wanted to put up a image about a new feature users could click on the image to get to the story.
Thanks
Daniel:
good idea, maybe a feature request for next version, want to sponsor it? Contact me via email if yes.
Hi Marco,
We’re having the same problem as Paul C:
We’re using Wordpress 2.8.4, Plugin 1.0.0 with Tony’s IE fix, PHP 5, and MySQL 5. We set up 28 images, all the same size; but when we set the swap rate to 17 seconds, the plugin is only using the first 4 pictures.
We appreciate your help… please advise.
Thanks,
Steve
Steve Buelow:
I appreciate your appreciation but I can’t live with it only
Donation is needed in order to book time to rewrite this plugin
I’m redesigning my wife’s web site and this plugin is exactly what I’m looking for. The only problem is that I can’t wrap text. I put “align=left”) in the img call, but it didn’t work. I even tried moving the script call inside the span, but that didn’t work either. Is there a way to wrap text? If not, how much to modify the plugin?
Robert:
try adding to the img object this property:
class=”alignleft”
Thanks for the reply, Marco. I tried that , but it didn’t work
Buon anno! (Had to look that one up…)
Robert:
you are right, the code of the plugin change it.
Edit the plugin, search the line that starts with:
span_id.innerHTML
and inside the img object add the property:
align=”left”
should work then.
That works! Thank you, Marko. I made a small donation to your cause…
Hello, again, Marco. I just installed the plugin on my wife’s site and I get an error message that says “Invalid image or bad permissions” and lists the main directory. I don’t get it since it works on my other site just fine.
Oh, it does show the image just below the error message…
Robert:
seems a broken image? Cannot say without seeing with my eyes.
Here’s a link to a modified screen capture:
http://www.stermer-cox.com/Screen-capture-1.jpg
Robert:
I do not get it, are you sure the error message comes from my plug-in?
It goes away when I take the calling routine out and there is nothing else in the page that could cause the problem – it’s all text. As I said it does work on another site, so this is very confusing. I’m with Hostgator and it’s the main site account I’m having problems with; the other web site (addon domain) works fine. I don’t get it either.
I know you don’t have the time to put into this and I appreciate what you have done. I’ll play around with it some more and see if I can find a conflict with another plugin or something. I’ll also rebuild the page and see if that helps. I’ll let you know what I find.
Thanks, Marco!
Robert:
check image folder permissions if they are the same as the other website.
Hi -
I’ve been happily using header image plugin in the header of my site since your latest release.
site: innerstellarmedium.com
Wordpress 9.1.2
MySQL client version: 5.0.32
php version:5.2.6
However, now that I’ve updated to Wordpress 9.1.2, it’s a little unreliable on the iphone. The images are all there and are not corrupted. They look fine in a browser on the mac, but on iphone, there’s just a little blue box with a question mark in it at the upper left of the header image area. This doesn’t happen every time, though. Only one of the images displays correctly within the header image area now.
Any ideas?
Thank you!!!

As per my problem with header non-display above, I found out something else:
The header every once in a while will not display in regular browsers (safari, firefox) on the computer either, not just in the iphone.
I have tried different settings for time intervals with random results. For example, when I set it for 30 seconds, only 2 of the 10 images I have rotating appear with no blanks. At one minute intervals, most images show with one or two coming up as blanks.
Thank you for your help in advance – I could really use it!

try to apply the patch on page 1 of comments, maybe helps.
Ciao MArco
sto testando il tuo plugin sulle immagini in rotazione con wordpress
l’unico problema è che non riesco a dare una dimensione fissa alle immagini.
Io inserisco i tag widht e height ma non succede nulla
Come posso fare?
grazie ciao da Manuel (Sicilia)
MAnuel:
no le immagini sono rappresentate come sono, credo che tu debba in anticipo “tagliarle” in modo che siano tutte uguali.
va bene grazie ugualmente
How do i get the rotating images in the theme header instead of the static header.jpg
Vincent:
tried reading the readme file and the plugin admin panel?
Hi,
if I want to install it with WP 2.9.2 I become an error message.
No valid header. Is this an error only at my site or is this fine plugin at this time only working in a previous WP version?
Kind Regards
Jörg
Jörg:
it should work, maybe if you tell me what you have done I can help you otherwise I can’t guess.
Guess you mean the patch for the IE flicker? I’m not using IE – but if you believe it might help, I’ll try it out.
Wwwindi:
yes that one, please try and let me know.
For now, the fix you recommended seems to have fixed the problems I was having with the iphone.
Thank you!

Hello,
how to disable the javascript call so the page does not update in realtime? Thanks for your help in advanced!
Rob
Robert:
Just remove the <script>…</script> call.
Hello,
when I do that the image fails to show up properly. It seems like if I change anything on the script side it makes the image load improperly. any thoughts? I love this script, I just hate how it calls to refresh constantly.
Robert:
hmm I think you are right, might be a bug.
Any thoughts on how to fix it?
Robert:
this is one of my minor plug-in, it doesn’t give me much value, as people here are not donating basically anything, but they think everything should be done for free.
So I concentrate my little free time on Cimy User Extra Fields where people are happy to donate (not all, but some yes).
So feel free to disagree on this, but is like that. I will fix it when I will finished all my queue. No ETA.
No problem. Thanks for getting this plugin out. It really has potential to do amazing things for a website. Do you by chance know who to disable the realtime rotation on the .php file? Is there a bit of code that can be deleted? Thanks for any help you can provide.
Hello,

i use:
plugin v1.0.0
wp 2.9.1

thnx for your help.

Edwin:
check first page of comments.
I have the rotator set to switch the image daily and its working fine EXCEPT:
it only rotates 7 images. I guess because 7 days is one week?
I want to rotate 10 images daily. Is there anyway to hack the script so that every one of the 10 images will cycle?
site: innerstellarmedium.com
Wordpress 2.9.2
MySQL client version: 5.0.32
php version:5.2.6
i will definitely donate if you can please help me with this one last hitch. Thank you for your generous help thus far!

wwwwindi:
Yes you hit the 2nd bug, also already commented in the first page of comments. As said few comments above nobody wants to donate for this plugin, everybody wants bugs fixed.
But time costs money
to sponsor this new feature (expanding the limit of possible images) – how much would it cost approximately?
