Title: 2 headers or index? Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # 2 headers or index? * Resolved [ToOSk3tChY](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toosk3tchy/) * (@toosk3tchy) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2-headers-or-index/) * Hello all, * It’s worth saying first, I am only a few weeks into ever touching wordpress but I am very slowly getting to grips with it all. My php writing skills are pretty much non existent but I’m happy to give it a go. I am an amateur at CSS and HTML as I have run a free forum since Jan, but this has mainly consisted of editing pre written layouts, nothing from scratch. * So… I am attempting to move my site to something better looking and overall more professional and I am struggling with a couple of simple things on my WP home page. * I’m using the ‘Sydney’ theme and basically want a fixed header at the top and fixed footer at the bottom. In the middle I want a full width image slider with the ability to put an overlay(faded grey or something) over the images. * I have the images setup and my footer but it all seems to be in my header and so I can’t figure out how to get another header at the top, the site name/logo and menu are floating on top of the image. The footer is also too large in height. I only want 2 things in there and so it’s much too big right now. * I can link my site so you can all see but I’m not certain if that’s wise so I’ll leave it for now but I can imagine it would be easier for someone to see what I mean. I could also draw up a plan of how I want it to look if needs be. * Thank you Paul Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Thread Starter [ToOSk3tChY](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toosk3tchy/) * (@toosk3tchy) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2-headers-or-index/#post-6285797) * Regarding the title I am basically asking is it best to aim for 2 headers or try and get the image slider in the main part of the page? * [Ravikumar Patel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravipatel/) * (@ravipatel) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2-headers-or-index/#post-6285800) * yes u have add multiple header. * First copy header.php and give any name after header text with -. Like and add your slider code on copyfile. * ``` header-custom.php so call on file header-slider.php so call on file ``` * Thread Starter [ToOSk3tChY](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toosk3tchy/) * (@toosk3tchy) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2-headers-or-index/#post-6285850) * Thank you Ravi, * Creating the copy file was easy but then because I have changed created new names WP is still looking for old names. * What did I need to do next?
