# Headers

 * I’m trying to figure out headers so I’m trying different ways of displaying a
   header. I have created a header file and named it wc-custom-header.php. From 
   what have read in the codex I thought that using this code:
    `get_header('wc-
   custom-header.php')` would display my header. But it doesn’t. I can get it to
   display using this code: `include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/wc_cust_header.php')` but
   I want to use the tags correctly and not hack up everything. Can someone guide
   me down the correct path with this issue?
 * Thanks in advance

 * read this:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_header](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_header)
 * as i understand it, using `get_header('wc-custom')` will include a file called:
   header-wc-custom.php.
 * and be precise if you use hyphens- or underlines_ 😉

 * Right you are. I had to rename the file with header being the leading part of
   the name. It worked perfectly. Thanks much for the quick response.

 * The Visual Editor in one of blogs shows a second line of icons including “Paragraph
   Headers,” and “Center Justification” but in the other two blogs it does not.

 * try in the visual editor with the single line of icons to press the icon top 
   right (with the little dots) ‘show kitchen sink’
    or press ‘alt’ ‘shift’ ‘Z’ 
   all at the same time
