    I have Genesis and the Lifestyle theme

    I am wondering can I use a different header on several pages on this theme and if so how?

    Try this plugin:

    It says your theme does not support custom headers when I try to install.

    You can add support for a custom header in your functions.php file:

    ... edited to remove the code, as there is apparently an error in there, and I don't want people who are searching for a solution in the future to use this code.

    (You can change the height and width to your preferred dimensions)...

    Or you could use CSS code and upload your headers to your child themes images folder:

    The CSS code goes in your child themes style.css file not functions.php file.

    You would also need to change the post or page i.d's to your own which you can grab from the source code of your website.

    The image paths also need to be changed to the name of your images.

    If your site is down because of a change made to your functions.php file, you will need to replace your functions.php file with a fresh copy on your hosting site.

    Susan,

    Even after I added the string of code to the functions file it says your theme does not support custom headers?

    Brad

    Do I add both strings? How do I put the other header on more than one page?

    Here is the correct code, there was a little bit missing from Susan's:

    **THE CODE IS BEING STRIPPED OUT**

    P.S. To Susan and Brad - I did wrap the code in PHP however it still stripped out part of the code.

    Anita. Yeah sometimes that can happen which is why Gists are good as you can also change the code if you miss a semi colon or something.


    @alyssaavant     I believe CSS is a better option for adding different headers.

    Yes you simply change the post or page i.d which you grab from the body class in your source code.

    Wrote a post with 15 code snippets for this exact purpose last week

    I'd use the contact form on Susan's or Anita's website and ask for a quote.
