How to change header on a page

[londonva]

Hi I'd like to show a different header on a page http://blogdesign4u.com ie Gym page.

I've read the tutorial http://chasesagum.com/different-header- ... -wordpress

Which suggest locate your header.php file and located the <div> for your header. Replace it with this code:

<?php if (is_front_page()) { ?>
<div id=”header”> <!– This is the Header id that you want on your Front Page” –>
<?php } else { ?>
<div id=”<?php echo $post->post_name; ?>”> <!– An alternative header is defined, based on the page title –>
<?php } ?>

I replaced this code but it changed my header to the default text header, so I reverted back to my header.

And then the tutorial recommends this

Now you define each “header” div in your style.css file. The name of the <div> is associated with each static page title. So for example, if you have an About page your div would be #about in your CSS file

I came unstuck here as I don't really know what to change here within the style.css. Hope someone can share an easy way to do this.

Many Thanks :)

Many Thanks in advance

have a look at this tutorial it gives examples
http://www.ruhanirabin.com/different-he ... wordpress/

essentially what you want to do is copy over all the header info and then just change the image calls or menu calls save as header1.php then change your call to

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/header1.php");?>

and if you are only do this on page that would be the way to go rather than the conditional tag.

Ok where exactly do I paste the code once I've copied the header info and which part of the header info do I copy, I've been trying to do this but I get errors.

Your help is appreciated :)

copy EVERYTHING from header.php put it in a file save the file as header1.php now change the logo or banner or whatever it is you wanted to be different. Upload.

Choose the template that this header will be on.

for instance create myspecialpage.php and at the top of the page put

<?
/*
Template Name: My Special Page
*/
?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/header1.php");?>
<div id="content">

<div id="contentleft">

<div class="postarea">

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/breadcrumb.php");?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="aheadline">

<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

</div>

<div class="clear"></div>

<?php the_content(__('Read more', 'studiopress'));?><div style="clear:both;"></div><?php edit_post_link('('.__('Edit', 'studiopress').')', '', ''); ?>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>



<?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.', 'studiopress'); ?></p><?php endif; ?>

</div>

</div>

<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/sidebar.php");?>

</div>

<?php // The main column ends ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
