single-{custom}.php help

    I’m curious if there is an easy way to use this function, or maybe another function that will work similarly. I read the codex, but goodness it seems complicated to impliment.

    Basically I have 4 catergories. We’ll call them:

    En
    Ma
    Mg
    Gr

    Each post category needs to have the corresponding header assigned to the single.php. Initially I thought I could make a template for posts, but that doesn’t seem to be the case…

    How can I assign a different header for each post category? Is the best way to do this to use the custom types feature?

    Thanks for any assistance you can give me

    single.php is for a single post, that post can relate to many categories, like a post in ‘sports, national, tennis’

    If this is in single.php you will have to find the categories and look for a header, or do you mean the category list, category.php or index.php if there is no category.php.

    When you say header do you mean a different header.php file or a different header image?

    Which theme are you using, twenty ten and twenty eleven allow you to assign or upload a feature image as a header?

    Regards
