Enabled themee.g. coraline (or a child theme)

Enabled theme + plugine.g. coraline (or a child theme)

WP-display-header plugin

These images are found in themes/coraline/images/headers

They are registered in functions.php

So you can't just add you own

Other ?There doesn't yet appear to be a simple user friendly solution to the problem.

So I'm going to set it as a new challenge for [oik]-plugins.

This will probably entail

Oik-header-image plugin implementing:

●Template tag for header.php - bw_header()

●Custom post type for header images

●Metabox to select the header image

In the mean time get your favourite web developer to code a solution for you.
