Nope. The header example in this post is 100% correct and functional.

Hi Otto, Thanks. I had to add some code that I didn’t want in my theme, so this was just the ticket, but it didn’t actually work for me. Though, when I went to the codex page http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin and copied the equivalent header information (about 1/3 way down the page) that worked just fine. Maybe you changed the plugin header requirements in the versions of WP? I tried this on version 3.3.2 Maybe I just put some white space somewhere I shouldn’t?

Anyway, thanks this is a nice and simple solution.

I have started to use mu-plugins as suggested by Bill Erickson for any functions that are not theme related. Would you still sugest having both the mu-pugins and a site specific plugin?

Thanks for this. Quick question, I made the plugin, but how do I enter in the code I want it to put into my header.php? For instance I want to include buy-sell adds info, google webmaster, bing, yahoo, etc….all in the header.php. Is using a plug in like this the best way to do this?

Thanks.

I’d made a couple posts before about a functionality plugin. But not in enough detail. I covered it again on my site, citing this article. It really is a good idea. I’m going to try to point people toward making a plugin when answering in the forums (and on VoodooPress) from now on.

You absolutely do. Child themes crash WP just like parent themes do. The plugin is definitely the way to go!
