Differents headers for different blogs on same website?

Hi there,

Yup this is possible. What you’d need to do is create a new template for each different blog. You can duplicate the blog template so that the blog layout remains the same.

On each template, you can add a custom header. You’d remove the Header template part and instead just use a header pattern and then change the content as needed.

Sounds great! Thanks for your reply. I didn’t find a easy way though to make a duplicate of my blog template which I use on my homepage. So I copied all the elements of it and pasted it in a new blog template and replaced the homepage header in it (which contains a big cover image) with a new and lighter header (without cover image). So far so good. But I can’t find a way to apply this new blog template to my second blog on the same website.

I can choose the new blog theme when I create a new post but doen’t see how I can apply it to the whole second blog which still shows the default header with the big cover image when you click on the title of that blog in the main navigation menu.

Am I overlooking something?

UPDATE

I found this work-a-round: instead of messing with 2 different headers for each blog I just opted for one slim header for both. And on the blog on my homepage, where I need a fullscreen image on top, I inserted a cover image in the homepage template (and removed it from the header which made everything more complicated it seems).

This could get tricky! Depends on what you mean by multiple blogs. How are your different blogs set up? How are you getting two different blog feeds? We may have to approach this a different way based on your answer, but let me know and I’ll be happy to advise.

Thanx Mike for your feedback. My workaround (taking the cover image from my initial header and only putting it on the homepage template so that I can apply a svelt header on my other blogs on the same website works fine for me).

Structure of my website for now : 1) a homepage with a header + cover image + blog (all posts). 2) Two supplemental blogs on the same website with the same header but without a cover image (/category/keyword1 and /category/keyword2).

I will continue discovering the Ollie theme. Great work! Have a nice day!
