Rotating images in WordPress is easy. All you need to do is add some code to the image class you want to rotate and you’re done. You can make your avatar rotate on hover, make all images in a single gallery rotate or simply make a single image rotate anywhere on your site.
In this really cool tutorial, you’ll get the code to:
- Rotate your avatar image in your author box
- Rotate all images in a gallery
- Rotate any single image regardless of whether its in a post, page or widget.
- And rotate your featured post thumbnail images on your archive pages
Rotate Avatar Images
Here’s the code to rotate your avatar or Gravatar image site wide. Change the class if you need to however this code will work for people using Gravatar.
Rotate Gallery Images
This code works for images created using the native WordPress gallery. You’ll need to change the class if you’re using a plugin which uses a different name for your gallery.
Note: The gallery number can also be changed if you’ve created multiple galleries in WordPress.
Rotate Single Image
You need to use Firebug or view your source code to grab the i.d for your image.
Rotate Featured Post Thumbnail Image
This code will rotate all your featured post images on your blog and other archive pages.
Other Affects With Images
- You can also make any image round.
- Create scrolling text and images.
- Create different effects using a free online CSS generator
🙂 You’re so funny!
I’m trying out this meetup.com thing. It’s at meetup.com/wordpressforsmallbusiness
But, I think I’ll change it over to my regular site at classesforwebdesign.com and see how that goes.
Hey, maybe I’ll visit you in Phuket, Thailand sometime! Tell me the benefits, okay?
Why don’t you write a guest post here and talk about it?
Hi Brad! I am very much enjoying your latest posts! As a person who offers face-to-face classes in WordPress, I have been sharing your posts with my students. 🙂
You have some good stuff!
BTW, the orientation of your comment structure is a little confusing. The “name” and “email” labels appear to be opposite of where they should be. Maybe a little European? Anyhoo, seems a little backwards.
Also, on this particular post, I would recommend inviting your intelligent readers to “comment below” as it is not too clear that option is available.
I love everything you have done for me! XOXOX
Warmest regards,
Emily
hahaha. Where have you been hiding and why have you taken so long to comment?
Yes, the comments is weird, not sure why but its o.k.
Thanks for the warm comment Emily.
I’d love to see what you are teaching your students.
P.S. Hope its not migration!!
