 * I’ve tried doing this by page slug name and number, but neither seems to work.
   Any ideas?
 *     ```
       <?php if (is_front_page()) { ?>
   
       		<div class="header-background-image"></div>
   
       		<header id="header-global" role="banner">
   
       	<?php } elseif (is_single()) { ?>
   
       		<div id="post-header-override" class="header-background-image"></div>
   
       		<header id="header-post" role="banner">
   
       	<?php } elseif (is_page(22)) { ?>
   
       		<div id="post-header-override" class="header-background-image"></div>
   
       		<header id="header-post" role="banner">		
   
       	<?php } else { ?>
   
       		<div class="header-background-image-inner"></div>
   
       		<header id="header-global-inner" role="banner">
   
       	<?php } ?>
       ```

 * Are you using a custom query or several loops on the header? Try to insert

 * You should be able to figure this out with some simple de-bugging…
 * What does this show?
 *     ```
       <?php
           echo "<p>Page ID: '".$post->ID."', Front page: '".is_front_page ()."', Single: '".is_single ()."', Page 22: '".is_page (22)."'</p>";
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Look at the results of that and you’ll see what is and isn’t giving you the right
   results.
