Conditional Header problem

    I am trying to show a unique header for Page ID=8. I amended the page.php to start thus:

    <?php if ( is_page(8) ) {
    get_header( 'home' );
}  else {
    get_header();
}
include get_template_directory()."/includes/tt_meta.php";
 global $this_post_id; $this_post_id = $post->ID;top_widget_print('in');
if ( theme_get_meta_option($post->ID, 'theme_show_home_widget') &&

    and I created an additional theme with the new header, copied its header.php, renamed it header-home.php and copied this file to the main theme (so there is now a header.php and a header-home.php within the Theme).

    I do not understand why I cannot see the changed header on the Home page (ID=8).

    Take a look at the codex for 

    is_front_page

    It will provided more readable code instead of using is_page. Ensure that the front page option is set correctly and then check it out.

    I tried

    <?php if (is_front_page() ) {
    get_header( 'home' );
}  else {
    get_header();
}
include get_template_directory()."/includes/tt_meta.php";

    Justin but same problem.

    What if you remove the logic and just call get_header(‘home’)? Do you see the header-home.php template then?

    No, I don’t! The file comes from a non-active theme which works fine. I’m mystified.

    Further, even if I replace header.php with the file from the other theme and call get_header() the header still does not change. I conclude that the styling of the header is not in header.php, so where is it?

    are you using a static front page?

    if not, and you are using the posts page at the front, it will call index.php or home.php, so you will need to edit those files.

    are you using any caching plugins?

    Yes, Alchymth, it’s a static front page, and no caching plugins. I an more sure that the header differences are in style.css for the two themes so I intend to try importing the other stylesheet with a new name and seeing if I can call that conditionally.

    what theme are you working with?

    does the theme have a front-page.php?
