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!

Hello Marco,
Does this image rotator has more than one link? I would like to set different link URL per each image.
Megumi:
At the end of the page there is the list of the images and there you can do that.
Thanks. I can see only one field so thought only one URL can be set per slide show. I’ll try it.
Hi Marco,
I’ve got the same problem as Alex (6. April): Only the first caption appears.
I couldn’t see an answer to her/his question.
Is there a fix for this problem?
(Version 4.0.2, WP 3.1.2)
Thanks,
Gwen
Gwen:
Indeed I finally reproduced it, happens only when fade effect is set to 0. Will fix.
EDIT:
Fixed, 4.0.3 will be available shortly. Donate!
Thanks Marco! Works perfectly.
Donation done
Thanks so much for fixing the problem with the captions. It works wonderfully now. Sorry I don’t have anything to donate yet. I am like you, I spend a lot of time working my weblog to share with others and get no money. I keep a list of all those who have helped me on my wordpress adventure. (One of my cats passed away on Saturday and boy does the vet charge a lot.) Anyway great plugin. You are very talented in creating a plugin.
Hi Marco,
My image does not display at all.
I have done the following:
1. Added one image and a comment
2. Copied generated code into my header.php file
3. Loaded the page.
Once the page loads:
1. The “loading images” status msg appears for a couple of moments
2. The image does NOT appear
3. The comment block and comment appears.
I am running:
1. Javascript/ Firefox 4 & IE 7
2. WordPress 3.1.3
3. Plugin version 4.0.3
4. Php version 5.2.14
5. MySQL version 5.0.91-community
Thanks for your help in advance
Sush:
You seem to have only one image, can you load at least two?
Hey hi,
The images I uploaded are 1000px in width and 300px in height. However they are not visible in the dimensions. Why is it so?
P.S: I have check the resolution of the images and also changed the dimensions in the code.
I was wondering if there was a way to have two separate rotators set up on the same website. For instance, if we have one that was for the intro/home page, and one that worked for the rest of the site.
Thanks for creating such a rad plugin!
Gaurav Mahajan:
Because in your theme’s css
http://www.projectbustards.org/wp-content/themes/adventure/style.css
you have:
img {
height: auto;
max-width: 740px;
}
Please install Firebug plugin for Firefox and you can debug your pages, this was unrelated issue, I helped you anyways, so maybe you can make a donation.
Shauna:
No is not possible, but you can donate and I can add the feature.
Done. Thank you!
I’m so sorry for a stupid question. Where do I copy/paste the special code into the header.php file? Do I completely replace the previous code? Do I insert it in the beginning or at the end?
Never mind… I think I figured it out!
TY
I have the same request as Shauna, this plugin works like a charm and I would love to have multiple rotators. I will donate this evenening.
How soon could we expect this usefull feature?
I would also like to know if I could somehow include swf files?
Donation is done!!
Conny:
Thanks, I will make it, but when? No idea. I have a long queue of other donations for other plug-ins too, so be patience
Hi Marco,
I really enjoy using Cimy Header Image Rotator. I am trying to make it use relative links for my header images so they will work with my newly installed SSL. I’m combing the source trying to figure out a workaround for this. Any chance you could point me in the right direction? Thanks!
I’m looking at this line:
define(‘IMAGE_URI’, WP_CONTENT_URL.”/”.IMAGE_FOLDER.$blog_path);
and thinking that I could swap out WP_CONTENT_URL for an SSL-aware function. This page has info:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Determining_Plugin_and_Content_Directories
Does this seem right? I don’t really have a test bed set up and I’m scared to experiment on my site
Jordan Applewhite:
It’s a bug indeed.
Thanks for confirming. I swapped it out for content_url() (also had to do the PLUGIN_URI definition) and SSL is happy now
Great plugin! I have only two images and would like image rotation to stop after second image is displayed. Can you suggest how can I do this?
Sirius:
It’s not possible.
It’s not possible with the plug-in as written, or not possible at all? Could I change the script to make it do this & can you suggest a resource for the script code?
Greetings from Ireland Marco,
Is it possible to have the click-throughs opened in the same window as opposed to opening another Internet Explorer automatically? I wish to use the script as an internal advertising feature.
I love your image rotator script, very neat!
Daniel
Daniel:
For now you have to change the code, has been said in previous pages already.
Maybe in the next release I’ll add an option.
Marco,
Many thanks for your quick reply, any pointers as to where to look for the code to change as the generated code does not seem to cater for target frame upon click. I am guessing I will have to dig deep somewhere in the editor, but where is the €64,000 question!
Daniel.
Daniel:
Page 7 of the comments, search for ‘blank’
Many thanks Bud! Easy to find when you know where to look!
I have the header under the menu, how do i get it moved a little higher. Its too far down
Shana:
Which header? Which website? And where is a donation for this extra help?
Hey Thanks for this great Plugin.
It works on my (friends) site but produces some strange GET-Requests before loading the Images (which finylly works)
GET http://www.dance-fields.de/vita/Ga%CC%88stebuch%20%7C%20Gabi%20Koch%20Tanzfelder-Dateien/_MG_1222.jpg 404 (Not Found)
“Ga%CC%88stebuch%20%7C%20Gabi%20Koch%20Tanzfelder-Dateien”
is definitively not the path.

I know about firebug javascript debugging, but I couldn’t find out where this request comes from. Any Idea?
Thorsten:
Doesn’t seem coming from my plug-in, have you tried disabling it and see if they are still happening?
Hi and thanks for this great plugin!
Is it possible that it isn’t compatible to WP3.2?
The pictures won’t load while opening the website.
I use WP3.2 since a few days.
TIA and greetings!
Axel
Axel:
It works for me, so you have to read the FAQ and provide more info.
Hiya,
I have just updated to wordpress 3.2 only to find the plugin has now stopped showing the images can you help with a fix?
James:
AGAIN: works for me so either you provide a website where I can this or I don’t know how to fix it.
I am having the same issue. As soon as I upgraded to WordPress 3.2 this plugin stopped working.
Is there any patches ?
Here’s the website
Have deactivate it and replaced it with the normal header (I was using it as a header)
Jack:
I don’t see my plug-in working on that website. Until you provide a website where I can debug the bug is POINTLESS asking for a patch!
I understand Marco, however I had it working as a header changing the photos and needed to remove it because it just wont load the photos. It would execute the first part of the script saying ‘loading’ and it would just sit there.
Surely you should be able to see it fail if you have a WordPress site with version 3.2 on it.
Failing that what I might do is create a page on the site with that on it so that I can show you. You will need to give me about 24 hours for that though.
Thanks for replying and its a great plugin
Jack:
As I already said many times works for me on WordPress 3.2 on this blog too. So shall we go ahead with this ping pong?
Hi again Marco,
I know its frustrating, but its also frustrating for me.
Looking at the bottom of the main page on the site http://diasporic.org/mnimes/ you will see that after the footer the block which is supposed to show images is failing and only shows “Loading images…”
thanks
Jack:
Error seems from another plug-in, I guess mp3 audio player. Try disable all, it works then?
Thank you Marco,
You were right. There was no problem with the Cimy Header Image Rotator that I could see and once I disabled the mp3 player it worked fine.
Thanks again
jack
Dear Marco,
WP e-Commerce conflicts with Cimy Header Image Rotator.
Are you aware of that?
Regards Rob
Rob:
Lot of plug-ins “conflict” with this mine, problem is 99% of the times is their fault as I wrote in the FAQ.
If you want I can look at it, but a donation would be nicer since probability that I will waste my time is very high.
Hi Marco,
Love this plugin and it has worked beautifully on our site for a couple months. Recently it just stopped working and is hanging on “Loading Images”. There have been no new plugins installed. The website can be viewed at http://www.bellevue-christian.com. I read the FAQs and none of these are the issue at hand. Any help you can offer would be awesome. Thanks!
Jen M.
Well you did not provide too many info, but from the website source code I can that _seems_ you’ve chosen slide effect but you didn’t set any of them.
You need to check at least one. Did that help?
