   Hi,

   Am trying to make another template because I have a page that needs a lot of code in the header and instead of putting it in every page, am simply going to create a new template for this..

   Is it simply a case of making two copies of the header and add the code into one of them and save it as a different file name? then calling that on the template..

   so <?php get_header(); ?>
   <div id="content">

   goes to

   <?php get_header3D(); ?>
   <div id="content">

   ?

   I have tried this and it comes up with a fatal error, so am guessing that I need more work to go into it..

   Anyone have any ideas?

   thanks

   do you want to place it somewhere after the content? Then why not create a sidebar ?

   You could create the additional stuff in the existing header, but use Conditional Tags so its only displayed on the required page:

   if (is_page('mypage') )
   {
        echo 'This will only appear on the <em>mypage</em> page';
   }

   But will search engines search through the code?

   I had reports of my site taking a long time to load

   @ryans149 am looking to make a new page with the new code on.. My new code need to go in the header so to save load time am making a new template so that I only have 1 page with all the code if that makes sense

   But will search engines search through the code?

   Search engines can't see the php code any more than firefox or any other browser can. The search engine is sent the same xhtml that a browser is sent, so it will see the code on the page that it is set to be included on.

   I had reports of my site taking a long time to load

   That could be caused by one or more of several things. The YSlow firefox extension might help you troubeshoot the problem.

   Well

   I have the new template but it's not showing my code.

   I made another header with the code called header3D.php

   I made the template with the php

   <?php get_header('3D'); ?>

   I set the page to display this template etc and previewed it..

   I have a working page so everything is going ok except one thing

   I still can't see my code in the source (which is huge).

   It isn't picking it up for some reason..

   Am trying to get this on my site

   http://earth-api-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/helloearth/index.html

   I have the working code, I know av had it on my old one.. but this template won't pick it up for some reason.

   it looks like your new template file should be called header-3D.php rather than header3D.php
