Hi,

I can't seem to get page headers to display on the blog archive page or product archive page unless I have the location set to 'Entire Site'.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance

Hi there, thats odd. Can you provide a link to the site with those headers assigned?

Hi David,

Unfortunately the site is not live yet. You might be able to replicate the issue using the new display rules though, or does it work for you?

Thanks

Hi Nick,

Yep, they work for me, maybe something with the settings. Can you share screen shots of the Blog or Shop page header settings? For the Page Hero and Display rules screens and also the Site Header if you have set any of those settings.

I'll put it up on the server for you to have a look do you have an email I can send the link and logins?

All done, thanks

For the Shop i added the Product Archive display rule which is the Woo shop and that now appears.

I can see the header on the Blog, so can you confirm what the problem is there? Note: if your adding Custom Fields to an index page by way of a Post Editor > Meta Box , WP ignores them.

Rite, so it was product archive. The only one I didn't try as it was set to be categories but it makes sense really.

Regarding the blog, as you say the custom fields are ignored so I've made a separate header for the blog page which is being ignored in favor of the default header I've made which is set to 'entire site', even if I remove the default header though it doesn't pull in the blog header.

Thanks for your help so far.

Ok, i added an Exclude: Blog rule to the Default Header and it looks like the Blog is working :)

That's Great! These new display rules are going to take some getting used to.

I read before that the display rules don't prioritize rules for specific pages so I'm guessing because of this that you need to be sure that the rules exclude pages you don't want them to show on, or is this only for archives?

Thanks for your help David.

Thats great. Yes currently the priority is based on Seniority so whichever header is created first wins.
And whenever you create a general or wider scope header you have to exclude any specific page headers or ones with a narrower scope (eg. excluding Categories from the Entire Site or a Single Post from a Post Category).

Tom is looking at other prioritisation methods, but it is really complex.

That makes sense now, Thanks again for your help on this and quick response time.

You're welcome :)
