 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to get a different header on my homepage. So far, I’ve made a new 
   header-home.php
 * On my homepage.php, which displays the homepage of my website, I changed the 
   get_header() to get_header(‘home’) but for some reason it doesnt get me the header-
   home.php
 * Does anyone know what I might have done wrong here?
 * Thanks

 * is homepage.php a custom page template for the static front page?

 * This should work butI think you should rename homepage.php to home.php see [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy)

 * Homepage.php was indeed the page template for the static front page so renaming
   it to home.php fixed the problem.
 * Thanks a lot!
