header.php as an include within header.php ??

  • Howdy,

    I’ve been asked to redesign a wordpress powered site loosely based on the default theme- the owner had had some previous help modifying some of the templates and css. I’m trying to go in now and futz with the header (mostly I would like to just move the menu list around) but I’ve found that I cannot get to it via the header.php file. In fact, when I go through it, I find within it header.php has been called up as an include… how does this even work? Moreover, where can I get at the include so I can edit it?

    The code of my header.php template looks like this:

    <?php
/**
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Default_Theme
 */
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <?php language_attributes(); ?>>

<head profile="https://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />

<title><?php wp_title('&laquo;', true, 'right'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="/assets/style/shared.css" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> Atom Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />

<?php if ( is_singular() ) wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); ?>

<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body  id="page<?php echo rand(0,2); ?>" class="sidebar">
<div id="container">
	<?php
	include('templates/header.php'); ?>

    If this is a really dumb question I’m sorry, I’m still new to php!

    Thx

  • Try looking in the templates sub-folder via FTP.

    bummer… I was hoping it wouldn’t come down to that. The site owner is completely tech illiterate and explaining this is going to be difficult ??

    Thanks for the quick response though! ??
