Edit: Oops, that is what your are using.
The title for your blog is static and only used in the header, why not just create an image and use it?
Yes of course, it would work, but it’s better to have the blog Title in WP database than hardcoded in the theme, no?
I had an similar error message. Same imagefill() problem, but it referenced a different line in the image-headlines.php script: 626
imagefill(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /../../../wp-content/plugins/image-headlines.php on line 626.Error: The server could not create this heading image.
I was using this for the image replace in the sidebar, having replaced the template’s <?php _e('Categories'); ?> code with my own:
<?php echo ImageHeadline_render('Categories','font_color=#774259&font_size=22px&shadow_color=#D9CCB9&background_color=#ffffff'); ?>
Puzzled over it awhile and managed to fix it by going to the Options page for Headlines and UNchecking the “make background transparent” and it worked all of a sudden after that.
(I discovered that putting differnet parameters inside the second argument would result in errors that refer to different lines of image-headlines.php.)
Whatever collected wisdom for this kind of thing that used to be on ColdForged’s site is now down, now that coldforged.org is off the air. That’s why I’m posting each and every discovery, in hope that it’s helpful to someone else.
No, I don’t think it is better to have the title image in the database, besides the plugin doesn’t store the images in the database anyway.
