Headers in absence of featured image
7 replies · Started by Jacobo on September 20, 2017
I'm using PAge Headers to have hero images on my blog posts.
BUT as I don't have featured image in all of my posts, I'd prefer those to stay without a header.
I've set up a different header (not auto-applied) with no content for those posts and assigned it manually on each post.
Is this the way to do it? Or is there any way of telling GP: if there's no featured image, use "normal" template?
Thanks!!!
Hi there,
Not quite sure what you mean? Can you explain a bit more?
What's the "normal" template?
Let me know :)
Hey!
(1) This is a blog post with the header I've created (auto applied to all blog posts): https://imgur.com/ZSvSTKh
(2) This is a blog post without featured image with the auto applied header: https://imgur.com/tCFQDuz
(3) This is a blog post where I don't want that header since it doesn't have a featured image: https://imgur.com/VxajFdq
For this last case (no featured image) I've created an empty header that I apply manually on each post without featured image (thus overriding the auto applied header and avoiding situation #2).
I was wondering if there's a better way of doing this like "don't auto apply the header if the blog post doesn't have a featured image", and if having a blank header applied can cause any problem.
Thanks!!!
I see. Thanks for the explanation.
That is exactly how I would do it :)
Great, thanks for the confirmation ;)
Would be nice to have a standard fallback for when there is no featured image.
Maybe the team can consider that for the future. But for now, is there any kind of hook/filter for Page Headers we can use to add some code? It's kind of hard to go through 100s of posts to manually assign this.
Cheers!
Unfortunately there's no way to use code for this.
Thanks for the suggestion :) This is the first request we've seen on this but if more people run into this issue we will definitely consider it!
Thanks again for the help Leo!
No problem at all! Those are good questions and suggestions :)
