New version of Banner Generator plugin is out.
The idea of the plugin is very simple. It generates banner with your blog name and last posts title.
Default style
Style is completely customizable. You can change text font, size, color and position, background color, border and round corners or use your own background image(bg.png). Now you can even use your own logo instead of a blog title.
My banner
New: More options. New default style. A bit nicer source code.
Installation:
- Make sure there is “gd” plugin for php on your server
- Download Banner Generator
- Extract the zipped file to your plugins directory
- Make shure your upload folder is set and writable
- Load your plugins page from the WordPress admin section and click “Activate” to enable the bGen plugin
- Edit bGen settings under “Settings” menu
- Enjoy

Great post. thank for this share. I like tis and agree with you
Hi !
This is a great work
But I’ve got a major issue with this plug-in as I can’t configure it… If I try to I get this error message :
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function: array_intersect_key() in /homez.131/oreillemh/www/wp-content/plugins/banner-generator/banner-generator.php on line 251″
Could you help me ?
Best Regards
This function wants PHP 5 >= 5.1.0 installed on the server. You can ask your administrator to upgrade the server, or more realistic, wait for a few days and I’ll try to find a workaround.
I didn’t work on that project for a while so I can’t give you a guarantee
Fix was quite easy, so I did it right away.
I don’t have this version of php on my server, so I can’t be sure it’s working.
Please try version from trunk and report.

Thanks for bug report.
That’s what I call a fast fix
I’ve just tried and I think it works perfectly… Thanks a lot !
Can’t wait to see more features! Maybe blinking… etc… GREAT Plugin though!
Can’t wait to see more features! Maybe blinking… etc… GREAT Plugin though! How do I put more than one on?
It’d be almost impossible for now.
I’ll think about adding this features, but it’d be a major change in design, so… maybe.
Great plugin. I will use it in my blog.
I love the concept but I have one problem with this unless I just haven’t figured out how to do it yet. When you click on the banner it only links to the homepage, not the actual latest post that it advertises. I am running a custom homepage so I need the banner to point to the actual recent blog post. Any way to accommodate this?
Okay, I figured out the obvious question I asked earlier! Since I’m using a static homepage, does anyone know how to link to the “newest post” on a wordpress page? I have it linking to the blog page but it would be perfect if it linked to the exact post. Thanks!
That could be quite complicated, because the url of the last post is different every time.
It is possible to write a script that gets the url of the last post and redirects you there, but … I don’t know. Maybe you can find a plugin that can do something like that.

It is great plug in. Thank you
Great plugin. I will use it in my blog, many thanks for sharing
