Future Addon Ideas

This may be pretty weird, but I would like to be able to show a rotating/random header image. I have an art gallery website and would like to keep the first thing people see always fresh and interesting. I can't find any plugins available that will do the job.
What's weird is that a plugin for this doesn't seem to exist!
I'll see if I can cook something up and release it on WP.org for free - shouldn't be too difficult :)
Addon for injecting script in the middle of content or after several paragraph. Is it possible? The case is I want to add Google AdSense in the middle of the article.
A plugin like this should work perfectly for you: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ad-inserter/
Thanks Tom! I currently using Ad-Injection and the author is not updating much. So I'm preparing list of alternatives. Most of them not compatible with caching plugin though.
+1 Shortcode Addon.
Another suggestions, add short description where is exactly the hook located in GP Hook plugin. While it's self-descripting but I still confused. Haha.. :D When I added Google Analytics code in WP_HEAD it came out as commented in the source code, after several trial and error it successfully installed at Before Head.
Caching plugins can be a real pain sometimes.
If you Google for an ad insertion plugin, there should be a few options out there.
Google Analytics code should actually go in wp_head hook - should work fine.
To see where each hook is located, add the following in them one at a time:
<div style="padding:20px;width:100%;background:red;">testing</div>
Animated hover effects plugin...
This one has been a recent ask for me and I have had to create my own, but a nice plugin that allows you to create animated div containers, and image hovers. These exist already but would be a great addition to the plugins list.
Do you offer support for full width background videos?
Things like animated hover effects and background videos can baked into GP pretty easily if you find the correct scripts to use.
Especially background videos - you can find scripts/code to do this by Googling it, and then you can integrate it quite easily using GP Hooks or a child theme.
I do want to integrate background videos into the Page Header and Section add-ons as well - would be cool :)
Hi Tom,
Is there any chance a good filterable porfolio plugin is presented in te future? All the free plugins I find didn't worked wel or fit my needs :-)
Funny enough we were just talking about this the other day. I am now building my own.
Ah ok, will this be a free plugin?
Well if I get to put some dev time into it outside of making onefor this particular client then yes I will be looking to make it available, but to be honest I would rather wait to see if Tom does something. He is definitely the plugin master. :-)
Of course! Tom is beside a master also a hero ;-)
I find this link and maybe I gonna try this but if Tom has this in his to-do-list that would be great and saves me some trial and error. :-)
Had something built a long time ago - it needs some definite love but I wouldn't mind releasing it for free once I clean it up a bit :)
