Create your first schedule¶
Build a schedule, get a stable URL, embed it anywhere.
Steps¶
- WP Admin → Image Rotation → Schedules → New Schedule.
- Give the schedule a name (for example Lobby status).
- Set the endpoint path and filename. The path is the URL prefix, the filename is what the URL ends with.
image-rotate+status.jpgproduceshttps://yoursite.com/image-rotate/status.jpg. - Pick a default image. This is what the URL serves if no time block matches.
- Add one or more time blocks. Each block has: days of week, a start HH:MM, an end HH:MM, and an image.
- Click Save. The schedule appears on the Schedules page with its public URL.
Copying the URL¶
Click the URL on the schedule card to copy it to clipboard. Paste it anywhere that accepts an image src.
What you can embed it in¶
- ConnectWise ticket signatures (HTML signature blocks)
- Outlook and Gmail email signatures
- Partner portals that accept a static image URL
- Lobby screens and digital signage
- Slack channel topic images, Teams banner images, anywhere with an image embed
Verify it works¶
Open the URL in a browser. Check the response headers (browser DevTools → Network → click the image): you should see Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate. That tells you the dynamic resolution is in effect.
