I have been attempting to have a specific header on specific page. I followed instructions for creating a landing page found on the DIY Themes site and have been able to get the layout I want. However I am not able to get the header to show. In custom_function.php I created a custom body class, registered sidebars for the landing page and applied custom filters to remove defaults and used “add_action” to show the landing page sidebars, but the “add_action” code for the header does not have any effect.

I have been working on this for almost a week, any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

Hi D.K.

// remove unwanted sections
add_filter(‘thesis_show_header’, ‘custom_remove_defaults’);
add_filter(‘thesis_show_sidebars’, ‘custom_remove_defaults’);

// add new sidebars
add_action(‘thesis_hook_after_content’,'landing_page_sidebar’);

// add new header
add_action(‘thesis_hook_header’,'landing_page_header’);

Getting closer, I now have a header but it’s the website header, not the landing page header. Since I don’t know how to write code, much of my functions are from reading instructions, copying and pasting. To remove defaults, I have:

function custom_remove_defaults($content) {
return false;

I had a blank white page, even WP-admin wouldn’t load. I corrected the problem by deleting the function in c-panel.

Here is what I had added to the end of my custom_function.php file.

function landing_page_header() {
if(is_page(array(949))){
?>

<?php
}
remove_action(‘thesis_hook_header’, ‘thesis_default_header’);
add_action(‘thesis_hook_header’, ‘landing_page_header’);

Thank D.K.

And a great surgeon you are, too bad my php skill level is equivalent to high school biology.

I’ve been playing with the code by editing the file in cpanel, makes it easier to recover from the white screen.

I tried removing the <!–?php from the code, no luck. Tried using the full url for the landing page header, no luck.

Since I do now have a header on the page, even if it is the wrong header I think I am closer to the solution. Just need it to call the correct file for the header.

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks D.K.

The url is thedigitalhealthclub.com; trying to put a different header on this page http://thedigitalhealthclub.com/?page_id=949.

No clue on how to attach a file here so I’ve pasted the landing page custom_functions test below.

/*LANDING PAGE*/

function custom_body_classes($classes) {
$classes[] = “landing-page”;

return $classes;
}

function custom_remove_defaults($content) {
return false;
}

register_sidebars(2,
array(
‘name’ => ‘Landing Page %d’,
‘id’ => ‘landing-page-$i’,
‘before_widget’ => ”,
‘after_widget’ => ”,
‘before_title’ => ”,
‘after_title’ => ”
)
);

function landing_page_sidebar() {
?>
