Hi,
Firstly i’m not interested in using plugins to do this – I’m creating my own theme and CPTs Roles etc without plugins. I’ve just learned its possible to have an alternative; 2nd header and footer for specific pages of the site and its working ok. However when i repeat the exercise to create a 3rd variation it just loads the default, header.php, footer.php and page.php. None of the tutorials ive learned from online actually explain if its possible to have a 3rd variation or even fourth.
When i use a 2nd header & footer (as below respectively) on the new page thus:
if( is_page('page-log') ) { get_header('log'); }
else { get_header(); }
if( is_page('page-log') ) { get_footer('log'); }
else { get_footer(); }
It works as expected – when i add a 3rd condition and create all the required page thus:
if( is_page('page-log') ) { get_header('log'); }
elseif( is_page('app-dash') ) { get_header('app'); }
else { get_header(); }
if( is_page('page-log') ) { get_footer('log'); }
elseif( is_page('app-dash') ) { get_footer('app'); }
else { get_footer(); }
the default header and footer (in the else clause) and default page.php load and not the new 3rd page.
Any idea what’s going on here or is it just not possible to have 3 or more alt headers and footers in your template?
