    Hi there,

    I was wondering if it is possible in WordPress to display a different Header.php file and Footer.php depending on which page you’re on.

    For example, here is my Home page (work in progress)… http://www.rjt-online.com/wp

    As you can see the header section uses Javascript and displays the Home Button in white to highlight the page you’re on. And the footer says Home.

    Now, I have made a Blog page (http://www.rjt-online.com/wp/blog/) and would like a different header and footer for this page (highlighting the Blog button and having Blog in the footer).

    I apologise if this is really easy. I’m new to this WordPress thing!

    Many thanks,

    Chris

    Ok, the next question would be how? I can only seem to figure out how to make the changes to all the pages. How do I make changes to headers/footers/and everything else for that matter for just one page?

    i use these

    at header for example

    <?php
    if (is_page(‘contactenos’)) {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH.’/header-contacto.php’);
    } elseif (is_page(‘home’)) {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH.’/header-home.php.’);
    } else {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH.’/header-default.php’);
    }
    ?>

    where you set if is a page (is_page) or a post (is_single)
    and them you set where is the file
    you can use it on footer or headers

    Where abouts in the Header.php should that go? Or should that be the whole code for the Header.php?

    where the new hader is gonna be included
    for example
    i have a site where all pages has different headers with different data
    so i create a div wich is gonna content all new headers
    and inside that div i put this script
    and then create all new headers
    ready to be included in there

    realize that this script detect the page name (or post name) and insert a new data on it

    That’s great. I seem to have it working (to an extent).

    Is there a way to include for example “if page is Home or a page that has Home as a Parent page, use homeheader.php”?

    What would the code be for something like that?

    mmmm
    really dont know
    realize that:

    if (is_page(‘contactenos’))

    where “contactenos” is the slug name of the page or post

    i strongly recommend to you
    to cal the post and pages with the id
    like is_page(‘4’)
    coss with this method
    you may not have problems in your server
