How to add a Header Content area

    I want to add a full-width area below the Menu and above the Content+Sidebar, for a specific post template. I saw the code in Header.php and saw the opening divs at the bottom, which I guess close in footer.php. This is what’s restricting me from adding the area in my single-d.php template.

    Is there another way around this? Basically I want to call a slideshow that takes the full width.

    Hi NM6.

    I saw the code in Header.php and saw the opening divs at the bottom, which I guess close in footer.php.

    That’s correct.

    This is what’s restricting me from adding the area in my single-d.php template.

    Not sure I understand how that is a restriction. And is that a page template you created?

    Hi bdbrown,

    Thanks for responding so quickly. My single-d.php is a template for all single posts in a custom post type. It has custom fields for specific information display. But it could easily be a category template also.

    To add a full width slideshow (only for the CPT) in Hueman below header and above the page content, it needs to be added after the </header> closing div and before the opening div <container -page>. And these divs open in header.php, which is common for all the templates. Either I need to make a custom header.php for my CPT, else I need to bypass the universal header somewhow. And that’s where currently I’m stuck.

    Hope it explains my situation 🙂

    Hi bdbrown,

    I got it working with the following function in my header.php :

    if ( is_singular( 'destination' ) ) : ?>
			<div id="dest_slider" class="container-inner">
			slider
			</div>
		<?php endif; ?>
