* Hi,
* On my site I have 3 headers, 1 general for most pages, 1 for English pages, 1
for registered users pages. Currently my problem is that the general header is
displayed at the pages of registered users. It is a big problem because the access
to many pages is only done via the registered user header, which don’t display
anymore.
* The trouble happened today, after I made some changes in the general header content,
and in the WP-Member plugin (I stopped it).
* I have tried to switch again the WP-member plugin, but it doesn’t help.
* Can anyone explain me what should I check to be sure that my pages get the correct
header ?

* Try checking your PHP error log for clues about why your header logic is failing
to work as expected.
* Also examine your theme’s header.php file to learn how it decides what header
to show. For example, does it use `is_user_logged_in()` to decide to show the
registered user header? Somehow, the information the code depends upon is not
available when needed. You need to know what the code is trying to use in order
to determine why it is not right.

* Thanks for your advice.
* I search on my header_user.php file, before (when it appeared correctly) and
now (when it doesn’t appear). I don’t understand most of the language, but searching
for “user” keyword”, I found this : . But
the text was same for both files.
* Here belove is my header_user.php file :
[https://nippon-lens.co.jp/wordpress/wp-admin/theme-editor.php?file=header_user.php&theme=tpl](https://nippon-lens.co.jp/wordpress/wp-admin/theme-editor.php?file=header_user.php&theme=tpl)
But I guess this link in on my WP admin site so need password. Here below is
the header_user.pho file full text. Can anyone check for me where is determine
to which user the header is shown ?

* Maybe my problem comes from the fact I stopped the WP-Members plugin ? I tried
to switch it again and so not effect, but due to some cookies or things like
that, despite I try and clean all my navigation data, the changes I make in WP
takes always long time to show up on the site.
Anyway my will is to keep stopped
the WP-Members plugin and still get the header_user.php correctly display on
specific pages.

* User roles and capabilities set by any “member” sort of plugins should persist
without the plugin active, so your goal in theory should be possible. However,
if any remaining custom code relies upon functions or classes declared by the
plugin, that code will of course fail.
* The file contents you posted is straight HTML, there is no programmatic logic
in PHP being used there to decide anything. Any logic would have to come from
the template file loading header_user.php. In that file, such logic would be
contained within `` delimiters. It’s possibly in header.php, but I’m
guessing as I am unfamiliar with your theme.
* There is a small chance some of the JavaScript loaded is determining the content
displayed, but since JavaScript runs in the client browser and not on your server,
it’s very unlikely.
* Because I’m unfamiliar with your theme, the help I can provide is limited. You
would be better served asking for assistance through your theme’s official support
channel dedicated to that theme only. The WP forums here are mainly for support
of the WP software itself, plugin and theme support is provided by the individual
developers of each module. Sorry to give you the run around. I was hoping that
pointing you in the right direction would be enough help, but that does not appear
to be the case any longer.
* A couple things to keep in mind for the next time you post in these forums: Please
refrain from posting large blocks of code. Use a service like pastebin.com for
that. When you do post any code snippet here in the forums, please demarcate
with backticks or use the code button. Failure to do so corrupts your code and
can also corrupt the display of your topic.

* Thanks for the advice reg Theme support channel, I will check this. Thanks also
a lot for the way to show code in WP forum topic in a proper way. Being very
new to this, such nicely explained advices are precious to me. Thx a lot.

* You’re welcome. At least I helped in some small way even if I could not solve
your issue 🙂
