 * Hi there,
 * I am about to loose my mind. For hours I have tried to create a unique header
   for a page which is different from the other pages. I have tried various plug-
   ins with no luck, so if anyone can support with some coding for it to work, then
   I will truly appreciate it!
 * Or give me a hint or something. Please. Just anything
 * And I have tried to create a php file for the page, but with no luck What is 
   the way to do it? I have tried to create a new header file, but I seem to stop
   here as I don’t know how to call this header when landing on the page I want 
   it to be shown. I know my HTML but am still new to php so I might mess something
   up here. Please please. Help
 * thank you

 * Alternatively you can create a specific template for that page, by copying your**
   page.php** file and naming it **page-xx.php**.
 * **xx** can be either the page’s slug or the ID, so use whichever you like..
 * Open the newly created file and find the `get_header()` call and replace that
   with, for example `get_header('custom1')` and save the changes.
 * Again, create a copy of your **header.php** file, name it inline with the new`
   get_header()` call, eg. **header-custom1.php**, and make whichever changes you
   want to make to the new header file..
 * Save, and view the page, it should now call the custom header file only for that
   page.
 * For more information see the [template hierarchy](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy)
   page.
