# Handling single.php in Multisite

 * I’m using sub directories for my WordPress multisite, posts are controlled with
   single.php. How can instruct single.php to use a different header and footer 
   file for the site in the sub directory?
 * I tried using get_current_blog_id but that didn’t seem to work. For example:
 *     ```
       $current_blog = get_current_blog_id();
   
       if ($current_blog == 2) {
           get_template_part('header', 'blog2');
       } else {
           get_header();
       }
       ```

 * I was able to get away with using in_category() because I’m only using 1 category
   on the sub directory site:
 *     ```
       if (in_category('News')) {
            get_template_part('header', 'blog2');
       } else {
            get_header();
       }
       ```

 * You can also use blog ID 🙂
 *     ```
       global $blog_id;
   
       if ( $blog_id == 2 ) {
           get_template_part('header', 'blog2');
       }
       ```
