Hi @christianmuellerdhv – that definitely sounds frustrating – it would be great if you could share a little more about the situation:
- Do your different templates use different header and footer parts?
- Could you give an example of the kinds of changes you’re making?
- Do you have a link you can share so I can take a look at the site itself?

Hi,
yes, I’m talking about what is happening inside the Headers of different templates. I tested this on a clean WordPress without any plugins.
For an example please check the screencast on the top of my testing-site:

What ever you change inside one header, changes all Headers. This was definitely not the behaviour before…

Hey @christianmuellerdhv – thanks for sharing that video. From looking at it – it appears that the same ‘Header’ template part is shared across each of those templates.
This means that when you make a change to the Header (even when editing it inside a specific template) that change will be made to the the Header Template Part – and therefore change in the other templates where that part is used.
If you open the Site Editor (Appearance > Editor) and then go to Patterns > Headers you’ll see the shared header there on its own.
If you’re wanting to have different Header for the different Page templates – you’d need to create separate header parts, and use them in each Page template.
There’s more information on that here:

Hi,
I had different Header-parts before I changed one, now they all look the same. If you go into a page-template the header-part is always listed with the Label “Header”, not with the names of the header-parts.
Again: this worked fine the last weeks, I’ve builded several Templates with several Headerparts. The trouble started with the Upgrade…
Best regards
Chris

Hi Jordesign,
my last post is not correct and it seems, that I did not built the templates a proper way. Why my Headers did work with 6.3.1 and not any longer, I still don’t know. But because of a small bug building header-parts (the button “Create” is not klickable on Firefox, after you have choosen “Header”) I found some workarounds. Maybe those workarounds are not working any longer, but the system behaves as it should!
I’ve tested all again and you are right: with Headers as “header-parts” everything is OK!
Sorry for wasting your time, I rebuild my templates and it should work…
Thanks for the help!
Best regards
Chris
Hey @christianmuellerdhv – no need to apologise at all – I’m really glad to hear that’s working for you now 🙂
