Change header image when I change the language

[naiarafernandez]

Hello,

I need your help.

I'm using Polylang plugin and I would like to change header image when I change the language. So it has to be 2 different languages and 2 different headers at the same time.

I tried to do this (https://polylang.wordpress.com/2013/05/03/a-multilingual-custom-header-image/), but didn't work:

Step 1: create a directory ‘polylang’ in ‘wp-content’ (this is a place where you can store Polylang cutomizations which will not be overwritten when updating Polylang).

Step 2: Copy paste the following code in a file called ‘wpml-config.xml’ that you upload in your ‘wp-content/polylang’ directory:
<wpml-config>
<admin-texts>
<key name='theme_mods_lifestyle-pro'>
<key name='header_image' />
</key>
</admin-texts>
</wpml-config>

Step 3: Set an header image in ‘Appearance -> Header’

Step 4: Go to Settings -> Languages -> Strings translations. You can now choose one header image url per language!

I asked to Polylang support and they told me this:

"Your theme does not seem to use the builtin WordPress custom header, theme_mods.
As your theme is not freely available, please contact your theme author for advice."

Could you help me to solve the problem?

Thank you in advance

Hola Naiara,
Es un problema interesante. 😉 It sounds like your plugin requires that your theme use the Customizer for the header image.

Previously Genesis themes used a proprietary setting for the header image. Your theme may be doing that now. I don't have that theme, but it may not be prepared to use the Customizer for the header image.

Pero todavía tengo una idea pequeña para Vd. It's done with CSS. Hay un ejemplo aquí.

.site-title a:lang(eu) {
    background: url(http://itsasargia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/imagen-nueva.png) no-repeat !important;
}

Por supuesto mi ejemplo tiene un imagen imaginario. 😉 First you'll want to upload your image for Euskera somewhere on the server. Then make a note of the path to the file, and use it to replace the file path above. Then add the code to your CSS. Appearance.... Edit.

Yo diría la respuesta completamente en castellano, pero no tengo un vocabulario técnico muy grande. 🙂 I hope my solution is understandable.

Un saludo,
Dave
