I try to create a theme in WordPress, and allow the user for some Page Templates, to load either a Slide-show in the header or to display the title.
Lets say, I have a template name called, Portfolio and another page template called Portfolio with Slide-show In Head.
Can I from within the portfolio.php and portfolio-with-slide.php to send variables in the header.php in order to decide what to display, or have I to create a second header for the second option and load the one need it into the template file with get_header('title') and get_header('slide')
What is the best approach ?
I personally use the second option – create a second header for the second option and load the one need it into the template file with
get_header('title')andget_header('slide').This is the best approach in terms of code maintainability.
