<p>A plugin for allowing users to set a custom header on a per-post basis. This plugin hooks into the WordPress <code>custom-header</code> theme feature and overwrites the values on single post views if the post has been given a custom header.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<p>This plugin creates a custom meta box on the edit post screen. From that point, you can select a custom header image.  You can also select whether to display your header text and its color if your theme supports that option.  The options you choose will be shown on the single post page on the front end.</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<p>Your theme must support the core WordPress implementation of the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Headers" rel="nofollow ugc">Custom Headers</a> theme feature.</p>
<h3>Professional Support</h3>
<p>If you need professional plugin support from me, the plugin author, you can access the support forums at <a href="http://themehybrid.com/support" rel="nofollow ugc">Theme Hybrid</a>, which is a professional WordPress help/support site where I handle support for all my plugins and themes for a community of 40,000+ users (and growing).</p>
<h3>Plugin Development</h3>
<p>If you’re a plugin author or just a code hobbyist, you can follow the development of this plugin on it’s <a href="https://github.com/justintadlock/custom-header-extended" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub repository</a>.</p>
<h3>Donations</h3>
<p>Yes, I do accept donations.  If you want to buy me a beer or whatever, you can do so from my <a href="http://themehybrid.com/donate" rel="nofollow ugc">donations page</a>.  I appreciate all donations, no matter the size.  Further development of this plugin is not contingent on donations, but they are always a nice incentive.</p>

<p>This plugin adds a form to your post screen that allows you to upload an image to go with your blog post. You can then use <code>the_article_image()</code> function in your theme to show the image whereever you want on your theme, at whatever size (dynamically rescaled and cached using ImageMagick so no dodgy browser rescaling or sending huge photos out).</p>
<p>An example of it in use is on http://www.nouse.co.uk/, where the photo alongside each post is attached, and then shown on the front page, and on the single page itself in the theme.</p>
