Conditional Tag Questions (specifically bp_is_user_profile)

Basically, I am needing to find a way to include one header/footer combination for all buddypress pages across my site, while dispalying another header/footer combination on other WPMU pages not related to the social networking functionality of BP.

After getting some help from these forums, I thought I could just stick some if…elseif….else code in header.php that would do the following:
```
if (PAGE IS BUDDYPRESS RELATED) include header-buddypress.php;

elseif (PAGE IS ABOUT PAGE) include header-about.php;

else include header-home.php
```
I figured I could do the same with the footers. It seemed on the face of it that this should be fairly simple using conditional tags, but they aren’t functioning as I expected.

For example, this code in my header.php file
```
<?php if ( bp_is_user_profile() ) {

get_header(bpProfile);  //include bpProfile header if page is a bp profile page

}  elseif ( is_page('Why We're Here') ) {

get_header(about);  //include about header if page is not a profile page

}  else {

get_header(home);  //include normal home header in all other cases

} ?>
```
always produces the bpProfile header. If I echo bp_is_user_profile, it always comes back as “1,” no matter what page I’m on with WPMU, whether I’m logged in or not.

I am kind of befuddled at this point. Perhaps I’m going about this the wrong way, but I just figured this would be the best way to modify a child theme to my specifications by just having a few custom header/footer files that are included as needed each time a page calls get_header(); and get_footer();

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

for bp_is_user_profile(), you can use this…

<?php

global $bp;

if($bp->current_component == BP_XPROFILE_SLUG) {

//Your code here

}

Okay, so I followed your advice, toddlevy, but for whatever reason, I’m still getting my profile header the home page. The following is in my header.php file:

<?php



global $bp;



if ($bp->current_component == BP_XPROFILE_SLUG) {

include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/../ARHealthCareersFrameTheme/customHeaders/communityHeaderTest.php'); //include this header on BuddyPress profile pages

} elseif ( is_home() ) {

include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/../ARHealthCareersFrameTheme/customHeaders/homeHeader.php'); //include this header on home page

} elseif ( is_single() ) {

include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/../ARHealthCareersFrameTheme/customHeaders/homeHeader.php'); //include this header on posts

} elseif ( is_page('Why We're Here') ) {

include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/../ARHealthCareersFrameTheme/customHeaders/homeHeader.php'); //include this header on about page

}  else {

include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/../ARHealthCareersFrameTheme/customHeaders/communityHeader.php'); //include this header on BuddyPress pages

} ?>

Any ideas as to why this would include communityHeaderTest.php on the home and about pages? Single pages are including the correct header.

I have been working with this code in my header, which seems to work for what I need:

<?php



if ( is_home() ) {

include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/../ARHealthCareersFrameTheme/customHeaders/homeHeader.php'); //include this header on home page

} elseif ( is_single() ) {

include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/../ARHealthCareersFrameTheme/customHeaders/homeHeader.php'); //include this header on posts

} elseif ( is_page('Why We're Here') ) {

include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/../ARHealthCareersFrameTheme/customHeaders/homeHeader.php'); //include this header on about page

}  else {

include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/../ARHealthCareersFrameTheme/customHeaders/communityHeader.php'); //include this header on BuddyPress pages

} ?>

Still, it seems like I should just be able to use the BP conditionals to find out which specific BP page I’m on and display content accordingly.
