Custom Backgrounds for WordPress

Hi AurelTirnovanu

If you go to our demo site http://plugins.righthere.com and login you can test the plugin. You can create both slideshows with fade effect or slide effect – that has multiple backgrounds. And you can make timed/scheduled backgrounds that shows a different background depending on the time of the day, or season of the year etc.

You can force it to load some of the other backgrounds by clicking the links.

I thought you wanted a different background depending on how you got to the page, post.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

In fact my most important needs are ones specified at point 1. To see posts backgrounds according to parent category. As you are the developer, could be this implemented ?

Hi AurelTirnovanu

Each of your categories “Cars” and “Devises” can have different backgrounds, but I’m not sure it works 100% like you want it. I’ve made a sample on our Demosite.

Scroll to the bottom of http://support.righthere.com – and then you will see the Categories list.

I’ve used the ‘Plugins’ and ‘Styles with Shortcodes’ category. The ‘Plugins’ has a mosaic background and the ‘Styles with Shortcodes’ has a light wood background.

Try and click on the two. There is one post that is in both categories. That is the one about Pinterest, but I see no matter which category you access it from it shows with the light wood background.

Hi AurelTirnovanu

We have looked a little bit more into this. And we can create a feature that will set a cookie from the last visited category. This will show the background from the last visited category even though the post is present in 2 categories. Then it will work like you want it.

The only thing that will overrule the cookie from the last category is if the post as an individual background set.

That should work for what you want.

Hi AurelTirnovanu

We added the feature to our plugins.righthere.com site. If you go to the frontpage and then scroll to the bottom and click on the “plugins” category or the “styles with shortcodes for wordpress” – then you will see that it works. The “pinterest” post is in both the plugin category and the styles with shortcodes category. And depending on where you come from it will show the right category.

Hi AurelTirnovanu

We will push this improvement live within the next 24-48 hours.

Version 3.1.7 rev24735 – May 11, 2012

* Improvement: When a Post or Page is assigned to multiple
categories, when showing single Post or Page, the system
will display the category background from which the Page
or Post came from. So if you view category A and the Post
is also assigned to category B and C, if you click on the
Post, it will display the category A background.
