My theme doesn't support custom headers when trying via a plugin so i was wondering if there was another way around this?
Tested WP Header Images by adding some code in header.php, but doesn't seem to work.
Tried the plugin Unique Headers, but it pops a message that the theme doesn't provide custom header when activating it.
By default, there is the same header for every WordPress page of the site. But how to call different header in WordPress? For that, create a new header-your page.php file i.e create a header file for the page you want a different header. Suppose you want a different header on about page. Create a header-about.php file and keep it in the Theme folder.
Then, go in page template file say page.php and replace the header code with
<?php
if(is_page(about))
{
get_header('about');
}
else
{
get_header();
}
wp_head();
?>
You can see, is_page is used to check the page id for “about” page. The function get_header is used for calling a new header file. Simply, the above code is informing WordPress that if someone opens the page, which is ‘about’ then WordPress will display a file called header-about.php if it is existing. If not, then WordPress will render the default header file.
This way, you can call different WordPress headers on different pages.

I am using a child theme. In my child theme folder I have the following files:
In my custom page template "page-lp3.php" I'm using get_header('blank') to call a custom header template. But no matter what I do, it reverts to the child-theme's header.php file not header-blank.php as intended.
This is the code in "page-lp3.php":
<?php
/*
Template Name: LP3
*/
get_header('blank');
?>
The custom template is activated for that page in WordPress. And the changes I make to the custom template are working as expected. But the custom header is not cooperating. What am I doing wrong?
Check the error logs files of your project and removes errors first.
I think you do something wrong inside the "header-blank.php"
How to debugging error
1 . Call default header if that come copy default header code into your new header-black.php and check.
2. add die with some message inside new header file and check
3 remove cache of browser
I have a custom page template built in a child theme and I need to call out a custom header.
I have template-home.php page template calling out
<?php get_header('home'); ?>
for the header.
I have a saved wp-header-home.php with a little custom button that I need to get.
The page template is unsuccessful at calling out the custom header-home, rather it's calling out the default wp-header.php. I can see when I add my changes into that file, they're reflected.
So, what's going on? Why does my
<?php get_header('home'); ?>
not work to get the wp-header-home.php? What am I doing wrong?
This is the site in question: http://va.northwaydesigns.com
Create the file with header-home.php
I need to add a header Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * into one of my template files. How would I do this I would like it to be for just this specific template so that its not site wide,
I think you're looking for is_page_template();
<?php
if(is_page_template('your-page-template.php')) { //Change this to the path to your wordpress template
//Add your code here...
} ?>
you can create a custom template page and call the custom Header on this template.
To create a page and apply a page template
use this code to create page template
First you need to have a single page. There are several ways to do it, one is to create a page in wordpress, then use the ID and create a file page-ID.php in the theme folder. Other way is to create a template file which you can select from the side menu in the wordpress editor.
In that page, you can add the php header and the code you want to show.
I need to access the footer inside a wordpress theme via a url. Ideally it would just render the footer data and nothing else, alternative suggestions welcomed though.
To add some context, the data will be fetched through the url and a script will read the markup. This data will then be cached and available through Magento where it is needed to be displayed..
Is there a url path that will display it or should I make a new page that can be called via the base-url+the-page-name???
There's nothing built in to do that. You could use the AJAX API in your theme or a plugin and accomplish it.
You hook into an action that gets sent as a URL or POST data parameter and then make a request to yoursite.com/path/to/wordpress/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php.
<?php
add_action('wp_ajax_so20495429_display_footer', 'so20495429_display_footer');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_so20495429_display_footer', 'so20495429_display_footer');
function so20495429_display_footer()
{
get_footer('ajax');
}
This will work for all users, logged in or not, despite the wp-admin URL. Here is code above wrapped up in a plugin.
what you can do is make a wordpress custom page template.
If you dont know how heres a little tutorial : http://www.expand2web.com/blog/custom-page-template-wordpress/
Now you want the custom page template to only load the footer (add the html, head and body opening tags yourself)
if you create a new page with your page template seletced it will only output the footer.
Hope you can get it to work

What about $footer_url=get_template_directory_uri().'/footer.php'; ?
I need to include a custom PHP page in Wordpress.
So what I need to do is just to show this custom php page using the Wordpress theme installed on that Wordpress.
Does not mind which theme is up, the custom php page will have to be shown under any theme is installed in that moment.
How do I do it in Wordpress?
I am new to Wordpress development.
Thanks
Creating a custom php page that will be able to be viewed in any theme (and have the theme applied) would be considerably difficult.
Each wordpress page calls specific theme functions of that particular theme, as well as referencing files of that theme to generate header, footer, css files, javascript files, etc.. Your custom page would need to plan for all of these contingencies, for each possible theme used.
Here's a alternative solution: inject PHP code directly into a standard wordpress page via this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/allow-php-in-posts-and-pages/
Meaning: you make a normal wordpress page, but are able to add php to it. When this page is rendered, the proper page template is used, and all the theme references are taken care of for you.
You could do this easily with a page template. WordPress allows you to create page templates which can be assigned to a page via the 'Page Attributes' panel within the page editor. These templates are php files inside your theme directory which begin with some code like (see this page in The Codex for more info):
<?php
/*
Template name: Custom PHP Page
*/
?>
<?php // begin custom PHP page ?>
Typically a template is a variation on the regular theme files (such as page.php) and would call the get_header() and get_footer() functions and have an instance of the loop. However if you simply want to use a custom PHP page, then all you need to do is create the file you want inside the current theme directory and add the above code at the very top of the file.
To output the custom PHP page on your site, you would need to add a new page via the admin area and then assign your new page template to this page.
Alternatively, if you want to include a custom PHP page inside an existing theme file, you use the code:
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/file.php'); ?>
in this case your custom PHP file would be located inside a directory called 'includes' within your current theme directory.

It's not that difficult. Here's what you need:
Once you include the main wordpress blog header, the entire armamentarium of wordpress functions is available to you, which allows you to get the active theme's directory. Once you get that, just include the header and the footer of the theme.
// If title is not displayed before loading the header, Wordpress displays "Page not found" as the title
echo "<head>
<title>Your page title</title>
</head>";
// Include the Main Wordpress blog header
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/wp-blog-header.php";
//Now, you need to get the active theme's folder, and get a relative path to that folder
$homeurl=home_url();
$ddir= get_bloginfo( 'template_directory');
$current_theme_relative_path=substr_replace($ddir, "", 0, strlen($homeurl));
//echo "<br/>The relative path to the currently active theme is ".$current_theme_relative_path;
//Once you have the path, include the header and footer, adding your custom php code in between.
// Include the specific theme header you need
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$current_theme_relative_path."/header.php";
// Your custom PHP code STARTS here
// Add anything you want to display to the user
echo "
<h2>
Your form has been submitted
</h2>";
// END of custom code
?>
<?php
}
// Now end with the theme's footer
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$current_theme_relative_path."/footer.php";
?>
Was very helpfull (even if dated of 2011-13)
Also, as a thank you, i'm sharing the version i made
