# Adding wp_header

 * I posted a more in-depth description of my problem under the Plugins heading,
   but maybe it is more appropriate here anyway. All I need to know is how to add
   the wp_header tag. My theme is working great and I’ve been very careful to set
   it up with clean code and the simple header, sidebar, footer format.
 * But now I am trying use a plug-in that requires that the _wp\_header_ tag. I 
   call the header template by using get_header and I am wondering if that was a
   replacement for wp_header or if I just totally don’t know what I’m doing.
 * Please help. I just need to know how to work in the wp_header tag to get this
   plug-in (lightbox) working properly.
 * Thanks.

 * add inside your theme’s header.php
 *     ```
       <?php do_action('wp_head');?>
       ```
