    We have Magazine Pro installed on our website http://mountpleasantmagazine.com/ and I'd like to create special "sections" using pages. These sections would have:

    1. a custom logo at the upper left replacing our Mount Pleasant Magazine logo
    2. custom logo at the upper left should be linked to that section's main page instead of the website's home page
    3. a custom logo at the upper right replacing the HealthLinks Charleston banner
    4. a custom sidebar
    5. a custom footer 1, 2 and 3

    I can accomplish items 3, 4 and 5 using the Custom Sidebars widget. I can accomplish item 1 using CSS and targeting a list of specific body classes like body.page-id-1234, body.page-id-1235 etc, but .....

    Targeting a new background images for #1 using CSS to change the background is clunky and it does not let me change the URL for item 2 above.

    I have FTP access so I can edit an file in the WordPress/StudioPress install and I also have StudioPress Simple Hooks, but I cannot figure out a way to make 1 and 2 happen.

    Or possibly there's another way to create custom sections within the site with their own specific header, sidebar & footer that I'm missing?

    Ideas?

    Hi,

    if you are planning on using several pages with the same design, create a page-template.
    https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/page-templates/

    You can add php code to the template to make the changes, add a body class that you can target with css (much cleaner, easier, than using 10 .page-id-### declarations), switch logos, etc...

    Thanks, Christoph, I'll take a look at this.

    Also, I realized this AM that not only could I make these sections using Pages, but also Posts (which gives me Categories to use).

    This worked out very good for a new Section using WordPress pages. Thanks.
