    Hello,
    I am setting up a clients site using WordPress, but for the homepage I need to use a different header and footer file from the rest of the site.

    What is the best method for setting this up?

    Thanks in advance,
    Adam

    Take a look at Conditional Tags to help you.

    <?php
if (is_home() ) {
get_header('myheader'); // include header-myheader.php
get_sidebar('xyz'); // include sidebar-xyz.php
} else {
get_header();
get_footer();
}
?>
