Overview
This WordPress plugin allows users to assign unique header images to individual posts, pages, custom post types, or archive pages, enhancing flexibility in design without the need to modify template files. It introduces a convenient meta box on post edit screens for header selection, and includes an additional settings field in user profiles and taxonomy edit screens. If a specific header isn't chosen, the plugin defaults to a preselected header image. Its seamless integration with the existing WordPress API ensures a smooth user experience. Special thanks to Erik T. for inspiring this innovative plugin.

- No need to change template files.

This plugin does exactly what it promises, smooth and problem free.

On my site I like to show a different hero graphic on each page, reflecting the specific contents of that page. The theme I’m using doesn’t allow me to choose different header images. It uses the same on all pages. I tried a lot of plugins but this one was the only one that truly did the job. I found a couple of issues eg a header image is available for selection but when I select it, the page shows the default header instead. I was able to “fix” these issues but deleting the header images and re-uploading them.
Would love to see an option to randomly pick headers based on categories. Eg, I’d like one page to display a header picked from “Category A” and another page show a header from “Category B”, with the headers randomly picked from each respective category when pages are loaded.

One of the best plugins for this job. Integrates perfectly in WordPress and it looks that it belongs there. (and probably should).

WP Display Header works with the standard header_image(); system. As of 5.0.3, UPLOADING header images seems a bit inconsistent, as it does not seem you can do that while editing a page, but otherwise works well.

I’ve looked through lots of postings and articles to find a way to have custom headers and this plugin does just that. I’m using WP 4.9.5 and theme Twenty Seventeen and no problems. Thanks.
