This plugin takes the images attached to a post or page and creates a looping slideshow, just like the one above. It’s very simple right now, but I’ve got some other neat ideas for it in the future.
Usage is simple: 
 [photofade] – Displays slideshow of images attached to your post/page by Menu Order. Defaults to 4 seconds. 
 [photofade time=’5000′] – Displays the same slideshow with 5 second intervals, configured via milliseconds. 
 [photofade order=’random′] – Displays the slideshow in random order. Options are ‘sequence'(default), ‘random’ or ‘random_start’ 
 [photofade height=’350′] – Displays the slideshow at 350px tall. Control the height in pixels with this. Can also be set to ‘variable’ to allow for different image heights. Defaults to smallest image height. 
 [photofade styles=’off’] – Turns off default styles and use your own (you can use ‘photofade_custom’ class). Defaults to ‘on’.
If you enjoy this plugin, if it makes your life easier, if it saves you time, if you think it’s gorgeous in it’s simplicity, consider donating. I’d love to improve it more.
Note: Plugin works best if uploaded images are of similar size/dimensions.

This plugin has been actively maintained since 2012 and is used on over 20,000 websites worldwide.
<h4>Features</h4>
The <a href="https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/products/unique-headers/" rel="nofollow ugc">Unique Headers Plugin</a> adds a custom header image box to the post/page edit screen. You can use this to upload a unique header image for that post, or use another image from your WordPress media library. When you view that page on the front-end of your site, the default header image for your site will be replaced by the unique header you selected.
This functionality also works with categories and tags.
<h4>Requirements</h4>
You must use a theme which utilizes the built-in custom header functionality of WordPress. If your theme implement it’s own header functionality, then this plugin will not work with it.

<h3>Development</h3>
This section is only relevant for developers building the plugin from source (e.g. cloning from GitHub). If you installed via WordPress.org, the plugin is ready to use — no build steps required.
The plugin uses Composer for PHP autoloading and dependencies, npm for JavaScript tooling, and TypeScript for admin JavaScript.
To set up a development environment:
<ol>
<li>Install PHP dependencies: <code>composer install</code></li>
<li>Install JavaScript dependencies: <code>npm install</code></li>
<li>Compile TypeScript to JavaScript: <code>npm run build</code></li>
</ol>
To run tests and analysis:
<ul>
<li>PHPCS (PSR-12 coding standards): <code>composer phpcs</code></li>
<li>Auto-fix PHPCS violations: <code>composer phpcbf</code></li>
<li>PHP-CS-Fixer (dry-run): <code>composer cs</code></li>
<li>PHP-CS-Fixer (auto-fix): <code>composer cs:fix</code></li>
<li>PHPStan static analysis: <code>composer phpstan</code></li>
<li>PHPUnit unit tests: <code>composer test</code></li>
<li>TypeScript type checking: <code>npm run typecheck</code></li>
</ul>
TypeScript source files are in <code>src/ts/</code>. The compiled output is written to <code>assets/admin.js</code> and is what WordPress loads on the admin side.

Unique Headers

Great plugin!

Use it on every site. Why would soneone like to have the same header on every page? Should be in core. =)

Should have been core since .. ever?

Add unique custom header images to individual pages, posts, categories, or tags.
