get_header

Fires before the header template file is loaded.

Description

do_action( 'get_header', (string) $name ); 

The hook allows a specific header template file to be used in place of the default header template file. If your file is called header-new.php, you would specify the filename in the hook as get_header( new ).

Parameters (1)

0. $name (string)

Name of the specific header file to use. null for the default header.

Usage

To run the hook, copy the example below.

// run the action 
do_action( 'get_header', $name ); 

The following example is for adding a hook callback.

// define the get_header callback 
function action_get_header( $name ) { 
    // make action magic happen here... 
}; 
         
// add the action 
add_action( 'get_header', 'action_get_header', 10, 1 ); 

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

// remove the action 
remove_action( 'get_header', 'action_get_header', 10, 1 );
