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.

    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 :)

  4. hamax says

    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 :P
    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! How do I put more than one on?

  8. hamax says

    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.

  10. The Mortgage Guy says

    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?

  11. The Mortgage Guy says

    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!

  12. hamax says

    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.

  14. Andrew says

    It is great plug in. Thank you

  15. Josep says

    Great plugin. I will use it in my blog, many thanks for sharing

  16. Jason says

    How do you use this plugin exactly? I am trying to get it to work, but it is not generating an image for me.

  17. hajra says
