Different header wordpress

votes

I want to use a different header on some pages of my Wordpress website. I'm using the code below to do this. I do

<?php get_header( $name ) ?>

I have two header-files in my directory: header.php and header-frontpage.php Below you can also see a picture of my Wordpress directory (just to give the best information)

Wordpress directory

The "main-template" of my page is build up in page.php. (you can find get_header(), get_footer(), ... there). I changed the get_header() part code into:

if(is_front_page())
{
    get_header();
}
else 
{
    get_header( 'others' );
}

This is working for me but only on the pages, not on post pages. I can do the same thing on the main-template for the post pages but is this correct? Can somebody assist me or am I doing everything correct?

Thanks

I would do almost the same as you except for one thing. I would reverse the headers like this:

if(is_front_page())
{
    get_header('frontpage');
}
else 
{
    get_header();
}
