I am doing something wrong, but I don't know what. I am trying to write a theme that calls one header on the index.php and a different one for single.php. The headers are named respectively header1.php and header2.php.
I have tried substituting the call function with the appropriate file name but when I load the blog I get a fatal error. On index.php I start out with
line 1<blockquote><?php get_header1(); ?></blockquote>
When i load the blog in a browser I get:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_() in C:\xampplite\htdocs\wtf\wp-content\themes\WTF\index.php on line 1
for the record there are now blockquotes around code in the theme...
I am not an expert but have you tried
<?php include ('sidebar2.php'); ?>
using an include instead of get-header
I think that's how you pull in non-wordpress-standard page names.
Probably also you need this bit of code on top of each custom header page with the appropriate name
<?php
/*
Template Name: Archives with Content
*/
?>
Thank You! That seemed to do the trick.

Sorry to jump on this topic late but...
While using a php include will work the best way to call different headers in WordPress is like this: get_header('HeaderName'). At that point all you have to do is have a header file named header-HeaderName.php in your theme directory.
Works like a charm and won't break WordPress if you upgrade/make changes.
