   I tried and failed. Now I need to raise my hand in defeat. And before I ask.... Yes I used this article and tried every which way to no avail.... "http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php/Adding_stuff_to_the_header"

   Goal:
   Rotate images 970 x 130
   Increase Header Height to accommodate 130 height

   Plugin
   NextGEN Gallery
   Plugin code for test gallery [slideshow id=1 w=970 h=130]

   Theme
   Modular

   I would thoroughly enjoy anyone's help. Is it the Plugin ? Does any one recommended another ?
   Sincerely,
   Joe Johnson

   The Link: http://www.nonprofit-solutions.co/

   When I apply the [slideshow id=1 w=970 h=130]

   it just shows in the header region. No banner

   ?><div id="header">
   <div id="header_inner">
   [slideshow id=1 w=970 h=130]

   <?php mysite_header();

   Thank Joe Johnson

   Can I challenge you a bit more ? Since the website has different specific content on specific pages would it be possible to have different Header Galleries show up on different pages. ?

   In essence, custom images rotating on specific pages so that the images reflect the content of that page.

   Hello nonprofitpartners,

   You cannot use a shortcode directly inside a PHP file. You have to use it with a do_shortcode() call as seen here, http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php/Adding_stuff_to_the_header.

   If your using the nextgen then you may also be interested in this article, http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php/NextGEN_Gallery.

   You can upload your own logo in Dashboard -> your theme -> Homepage.

   To increase the header height navigate to Dashboard -> your theme -> General Settings -> Custom CSS and add this line,

   #header { height: 130px; }

   PS
   -2- Get rid of the "Modular" name in the background.

   Is it possible to specify or code that certain pages present certain galleries ?

   Thanks in advance Joe Johnson

    I just changed the "Custom Image Logo" to a 1 x 1 pixel blue dot. works.

    Last curiosity

    Is it possible to specify or code that certain pages present certain galleries ?
    or
    Is this a enhancement modification request ?

    Do you mean you want your nextgen gallery in the header to display only in certain pages?

    If so then you would do something like this,

    <?php if (is_page(array('about-me', 'contact', 'portfolio')) { ?>
    insert your nextgen shortcode
    <?php } ?>

    Where "about-me", etc etc, are the page slugs that you want to display on.

    You can also use page ID's,

    <?php if (is_page(array(12, 13, 14)) { ?>
    insert your nextgen shortcode
    <?php } ?>

    When I put in the code you recommended I get the following statement

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /data/16/1/8/138/1823138/user/1976695/htdocs/nonprofit/wp-content/themes/modular/header.php on line 35

    Here is how I did it. It contains 2 elements: The echo shortcode and the page array

    <div>
    <?php echo do_shortcode("[slideshow id=1 w=970 h=130]"); ?>
    <?php if (is_page(array(13)) { ?>
    [slideshow id=2 w=970 h=130]
    <?php } ?>
    </div>

    You were missing an extra parentheses but it actually needs to look like this,

    <div>
    <?php if (is_page(13)) {
    echo do_shortcode("[slideshow id=1 w=970 h=130]");
    } ?>
    </div>

    Thank you for your patience. Once I complete this site I will submit to the "User Showcase" End the end I will have it nicely "Pimped" out

    On the "if" page it double stacks the "Images" http://www.nonprofit-solutions.co/fundraising-solutions/

    Should I be building the codes as the following: "One for each page and Not Using the Echo <?php echo do_shortcode("[slideshow id=1 w=970 h=130]"); ?>
    --e.g.-- a page for 13 and once for 42
    <?php if (is_page(13)) {
    echo do_shortcode("[slideshow id=2 w=970 h=130]");
    } ?>
    <?php if (is_page(42)) {
    echo do_shortcode("[slideshow id=7 w=970 h=130]");
    } ?>

    -- OR--
    Should the "Echo" and the if work together ?

    <div>
    <?php echo do_shortcode("[slideshow id=1 w=970 h=130]"); ?>
    <?php if (is_page(13)) {
    echo do_shortcode("[slideshow id=2 w=970 h=130]");
    } ?>

    </div>

    THANK YOU !

    If you want it to just display on certain pages then the only place you need to insert the shortcode is within the if statement.

    <div>
    <?php if (is_page(array(13, 42)) {
    echo do_shortcode("[slideshow id=1 w=970 h=130]");
    } ?>
    </div>

    Otherwise it's going to display on every page.
