Custom Banners provides a simple interface to upload several banners and show a random or specific one to each visitor, using a shortcode.
Custom Banners is a WordPress plugin that allows you to easily manage several banners (ads) and display them on the front end.
Create Banners Once, and Reuse Them Throughout Your Website
Use Custom Banners to create reusable banners that your whole team can use! Setup the banners once, and you’ll be able to re-use them throughout the website. Best of all, if you need to make an update you can just make it once.
Update Your Banners Without Touching Your Code
Simply place a shortcode, using our editor widgets, into the page where you’d like your banner to appear, and then you’ll never have to edit that page again! Custom Banners is also implemented as an easy-to-use Widget!
Instead, you’ll be able to manage that banner right from the WordPress dashboard, uploading new banners and taking down old ones as you like. All without having to edit your pages.
Easily Add Captions and Call-To-Action Buttons To Your Custom Banners
Custom Banners lets you optionally specify a caption and a call-to-action text and URL for each banner, making your banners an effective way to drive visitors to your most important pages. Captions can support all types of content, including YouTube videos!
Use the captions to announce a new special, and use the call-to-action button to let your customers claim it right away.
Rotate Between Several Banners with Banner Groups
Custom Banners also gives you many options for rotating banners within a position. So you can specify several banners which belong to a Banner Group, and then the software will automatically rotate through the banners in the Banner Group.
Automatically Publish New Banners At A Specified Time
Do you have a banner that’s announcing a new special, but you want to hide it until the right time? No problem – with the Publish Time feature of Custom Banners you can setup your banner now, but not show it until the right time.
With the Pro version, easily add Sliding, Flipping, and Tiling banners throughout your site!

No worries! This probably means the image you are using doesn’t match the size of the area it is being displayed in. Try resizing and cropping your image to fit the available area, and then upload it again!
OK! This usually happens when there isn’t a default Height and Width set on your Basic Options, causing the dimensions to not be correctly set on your slides. All you have to do is adjust the Default Banner Width and Default Banner Height to suit your needs!
Unless you are using the Use Image Tag option, the height of the banner will default to a pixel value to prevent the banner from having no height.
