header.php as an include within header.php ??

    Howdy,

    I’ve been asked to redesign a wordpress powered site loosely based on the default theme- the owner had had some previous help modifying some of the templates and css. I’m trying to go in now and futz with the header (mostly I would like to just move the menu list around) but I’ve found that I cannot get to it via the header.php file. In fact, when I go through it, I find within it header.php has been called up as an include… how does this even work? Moreover, where can I get at the include so I can edit it?

    The code of my header.php template looks like this:

    <?php
/**
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Default_Theme
 */
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <?php language_attributes(); ?>>

<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />

<title><?php wp_title('&laquo;', true, 'right'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="/assets/style/shared.css" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> Atom Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />

<?php if ( is_singular() ) wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); ?>

<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body  id="page<?php echo rand(0,2); ?>" class="sidebar">
<div id="container">
	<?php
	include('templates/header.php'); ?>

    If this is a really dumb question I’m sorry, I’m still new to php!

    Thx

    Try looking in the templates sub-folder via FTP.

    bummer… I was hoping it wouldn’t come down to that. The site owner is completely tech illiterate and explaining this is going to be difficult 😛

    Thanks for the quick response though! 🙂
