=== Random Background Image Per Session === Contributors: waffleguy4 Tags: background, backgrounds, bg, image, images, picture, pictures, random, header, theme plugin Requires at least: 2.0.2 Tested up to: 3.1.1 Stable tag: 1.0.0 Chooses a random background image for each site visitor, but remembers the chosen background on each sub-page for the entire visit session. == Description == This plugin makes it easy to have a random background image displayed from a folder of available images, such that every time a user visits your site they see a "fresh" new look to your site. Additionally, the image is saved in a temporary cookie so that the chosen background image remains the same for the entire visit of the user on your site. However, the next time they visit, once the browser cookie has expired, a new image will be randomly chosen. The plugin automatically adds the background image code to the bottom of your page, and will be displayed full screen behind all the other content. A nice cool effect. Once installed and activated through the WordPress plugin manager, there are 3 options you need to configure in the Settings/Random Background page. More Info [Plugin Article](http://davetcoleman.com/blog/random-background-image-per-session) = Settings = * Server path of the folder you would like to pull the images from: (e.g. /home/myuser/mydomain.com/wp-content/backgrounds) * Corresponding website URL path (full path) of the folder in #1: (e.g. http://mydomain.com/wp-content/backgrounds) * Custom Class: Use this to overwrite the default css attributes assigned to the background, for example, over-riding the height of the background. Create a style in your theme's style sheet, something like: (e.g. bg-image-style{ height:400px; } ) You may need to do a little css tweaking to account for the fact that a full size background image doesn't always stretch the whole height of the page - ie add a matching background color, a secondary background image pattern to start below the main one, or a gradient on the bottom of the randomly chosen background images.
