    Hey Guys,

    I need a bit of help since im completely lost when it comes to php.

    What I am trying to do is set it so that if the page is the home/front page, it would have a certain option, if it's single.php, it would have a different one, if it's page.php a different one, and so on.

    Basically, I'm trying to apply this to the body selector in the stylesheet so that I can change the background color for different pages, (otherwise the site would be messed up.

    Anyone who can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Regards,
    Nick

    If you look in the default theme's header.php you should see what you need. 
    
// Checks to see whether it needs a sidebar or not
if ( !empty($withcomments) && !is_single() ) {
?>
	#page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbg-<?php bloginfo('text_direction'); ?>.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
    PHP:
    change the if to if(is_home() ) {

    and adjust the CSS as needed.

    Hey Shallowink,

    Maybe you can take a look at what I have? For some reason it only shows the "else" part, and doesn't understand the other ones. Am I doing something wrong?

    
body { background : #<?php 
if (is_home()) {
echo "000"; }
if (is_front_page()) {
echo "000"; }
elseif (is_single() && is_page()) {
echo "fff"; }
else {
echo "555"; } ?>  url(images/bg.png) repeat-x; font : normal 0.625em/1em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }
    PHP:
    Thanks,
    Nick

    I just tested it and your code works. Do you still have the background color defined in an external stylesheet?

    The is_home and is_front_page are pretty much the same thing, unless you are using a static page for the front page. Doesn't hurt to have it twice but just so you know. Now the elseif(is_single() && is_page() ) will never work since the && is saying this is a single post AND it is a page. Guessing you want it to be either OR ? If so use || in place of &&. If you keep the is_front_page() test, I would change it to elseif. Mainly cause the first IF is being overridden by the IF, ELSEIF, ELSE.

    Here's the exact code from the test header.php I'm using...
