Using PowerShell to change page banner image

Hi Folks,

Currently have a automatic site creation tool up and running. I know using the PnP engine no content will be included in the template, but is there any way on the newly created site on the main home page (Modern Page) I can change the banner image using PowerShell to reference an image stored somewhere else?

Thanks!

    Blair,

    I believe you are trying to change home page banner image programmatically. You can use PnP Powershell to do that. Follow below steps:

     

    1. Connect your site using
         Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteUrl -Credential $credential

    2. Get Client Side Page
        $myHomePage = Get-PnPClientSidePage -Identity Home.aspx

    3. Set custom page header:
       $myHomePage.SetCustomPageHeader('<Server relative Image URL>')

    4. Save the page:
         $myHomePage.Save()

    5. Publish:
         $myHome.Publish()

     

     

    Let me know if it helped.

      Hi Rahul,

       

      Thanks for the response.

      Dropped the Publishing from the script and worked.

       

      Cheers!

        Blair24 Rahul Suryawanshi Dean_Gross Hi all,

        setting the page banner image in this way is working, but if you do it on a news page and the news will be visible in the news web part, the picture is missing. Does anybody know how to fix this?

        Thanks a lot in advance and kind regards, Sebastian
