How are the headers in Pro (posts) pulled and displayed within the theme?

[kylehill]

Hi there,

I’m running a multisite installation and I’d like the headers to be all the same on each subsite. However, I’m using a different theme in the subsite which I will have to manually edit. I’m reading that the headers are stored in a post, could you explain how the header posts are pulled into the theme and perhaps suggest some PHP code to make that process happen on a subsite?

Best Regards,
Kyle

Hi Kyle,

Thanks for writing in!

Regretfully what you are trying to achieve could only be possible with custom development, but this would be outside the scope of support we can offer. You may wish to consult a developer to assist you with this. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities.

Thanks for understanding. Take care!

I understand. I’m just looking for guidance to understand how it works.

Any pointers whatsoever?

Hi Kyle,

I’m pretty sure you will understand that it is not possible to implement the header feature of our theme to other themes as there are many many different factors going on, and actually we have a whole process of 1-year development which made that happen.

If you’re talking about how the headers are stored in the database, some portion of the main factors of the header and footer are stored as a custom post type. If you go to your database you will see that there is a specific post type in the posts table. Here is mine to share with you:

But also consider that there are other tables especially the meta options that some sort of other aspects of the builders or straight there.

I’m not sure how this information will help you but please consider that what you want to do is to implement the whole process for another thing which I think you will need a custom developer to do and honestly it will be reinventing the bicycle.

Thank you for your understanding.
