I finally have the chance to get back to this. The debug message says:

Notice: load_plugin_textdomain was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.7 with no alternative available. in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 2714 Notice: load_plugin_textdomain was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.7 with no alternative available. in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 2714 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /wp-content/themes/themename/header.php on line 115

Line 115 of header.php
else {

Here’s the code.

<?php
if($page_title == "Elementary") {
    $div_id = "topHeaderElementary";
}
elseif ($page_title == "High School") {
    $div_id = "topHeaderHighSchool";
// Add in as many extra ID's as you need in their own elseif() blocks
else {
    $div_id = "topHeader";
}
?>
<div id="<?php echo $div_id ?>">div content</div>

Okay. Now I’m getting somewhere. I tried the following.

if ($page_title == "Elementary") {
    echo "img1.jpg";
}
elseif ($page_title == "High School") {
    echo "img2.jpg";
}
// Add in as many extra ID's as you need in their own elseif() blocks
else {
    echo "default.jpg";
}

This puts the text img2.jpg on the page. I think the proper solution would be to change the css class or id since I’m using this to change the header background image. I tried the following but there is something wrong with the code. My page displays white.

<?php
if($page_title == "Elementary") {
    $div_id = 'topHeaderElementary';
}
else if ($page_title == "High School") {
    $div_id = 'topHeaderHighSchool';
else {
    echo "topHeader";
}
?>
<div id="<?php echo $div_id ?>">div content</div>

How would I code something like this?

if page root id = 1 display header image1.png
if page root id = 2 display header image2.png
if page root id = 3 display header image3.png
else display header imageDefault.png

Is there a way to do either of these two methods?

Thanks! That did the trick.

I also tried adding the code in the second post to my 404.php file. It just displays

Error 404 – Page Not Found
Please use the main navigation or the back button on your browser to find what you’re looking for.

I’ve tried adding the code above and the code below to the page loop right after <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

The code below still returns the 404 error. Am I putting the code in the wrong place?

<?php
	$slug = basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
	$query = 'SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_name = "'.$slug.'" LIMIT 1';
	$page_query = $wpdb->get_results($query, OBJECT);
	$private = ( is_object($page_query[0]) && $page_query[0]->post_status == 'private' );
?>

<?php if ( !$private ) { ?>
	<h1>Error 404 - Page Not Found</h1>
	<p>Please use the main navigation or the back button on your browser to find what you're looking for.</p>

<?php } else { ?>
	<h1>Authorization required - please log in.</h1>
	<?php get_template_part('login'); ?>

<?php } ?>

Rajesh your first snippet of code works perfectly. I’m not sure why it wasn’t displaying correctly…user error!

I tried, but my site displays a white screen with the if statement code. Can you post an example of what it should look like? Is ?> not properly closing the php?

I’m banging my head over this one. I get a white screen with the following code. I don’t see any issues with it.

<?php
if ( is_home() ) {
// This is a homepage
<h1>Homepage</h1>
} else {
// This is not a homepage
<h1>Not Homepage</h1>
}
?>

I tried the following code to resolve the homepage issue. It gave my site the white screen of death and if I remove the code I can’t get my site back.

<?php
if ( is_home() ) {
    <h1><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></h1>
} else {
    <?php $root_page_id = ( empty( $post->ancestors ) ) ? $post->ID : end( $post->ancestors ); ?>
    <h1><?php echo get_the_title($root_page_id);?></h1>
}
?>

And one more thing. When a post page is displayed the code displays the post title. How could this code display the site title instead of the post title?

That does the trick. On the home page it this code displays the latest post title. I would probably need some type of if statement to detect the homepage and display the site title. What code could I use for that?

You don’t need a plugin. I’m using the following code to accomplish this. This code displays the parent page with the h2 tag and then the children pages are listed in an unordered list.

<div id="menu-secondary">

<?php
  if($post->post_parent) {
  $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
  $titlenamer = get_the_title($post->post_parent);
  }

  else {
  $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
  $titlenamer = get_the_title($post->ID);
  }
  if ($children) { ?>
 <h2 class="parent"> <?php echo $titlenamer; ?> </h2> 

<ul>
  <?php echo $children; ?>
  </ul>
<?php } ?>
</div>

Ahhhh…I would have never looked in the footer.php file. So I will also need to create a second footer page.

Thanks!
