WORDPRESS: how do i have a different design on a page?
 

when i go:

Manage > Pages then select my page

i get a code page with "title" and Page "visual/html"


but then when i add in code into this page it puts <p> around my new code for some odd reason,

any idea how i have a different looking design for a page? i just need the same template but i need to add in a different part to the header.

check my new Bustybabe theme, you can add custom headers, but not different one's on different pages , its located at mywpthemes.net

shut your mouth you lil spamming tramp, i dont want or need your wpthemes i can outdesign your crap without even breaking a sweat.

A different design on a single page, while the rest has a 'main' design?

exactly,

the page has the regular design, but i want to add in info just under the header.

i still dont get why when i add in code it is adding <p> around everything i put into the page edit.

edit page.php in your theme directory, inside page.php you will find

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

instead of that you can just use an include for a different header, do the same with footer.

page.php is the file used for pages

friggin amazing, i cant believe i missed that, i will try it when i get home.

thank you so much. much appreciated. it is amazing how the smallest problem can have the simplest solution.

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/header2.php'); ?>

should work fine

what happens if my template doesnt have pages.php? just make it? i moved over an old wodpress to a new one.

off to baseball, thanks for your help! ill try to repay you one day when in need. :)

That means you have an appropriate section in the main template.

If there is no page template and no appropriate section the main template, you can always do a simple check to determine is it a page or anything else. E.g.:

<?php
if (is_page()) {
include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/header2.php');
} else {
include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/header1.php');
}
?>
?>

Or something like that.

something along the lines of this worked, thanks for the help! AMAZING
