    <h2>The Problem</h2> <p>My website has some JavaScript and PHP that I include on each page to allow login and cookie processing for persistent login, using a header that changes if the user is logged in, and these work successfully. I would like to add a pages that contain WordPress blogs/forums, while keeping my header and all its processing at the top. Is there any way to do this? My understanding is that WordPress controls the entire page with its own <code>&lt;head&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;body&gt;</code> tags and info. The backup plan is to have the blog/forum pages be somewhat rogue pages with a separate header that links back to the main site.</p> <h2>What I've Tried</h2> <ol> <li><strong>Figure out where WordPress sends the HTML and modify that page:</strong> They use a network of <code>include()</code> statements to decide what to show, and I'd be concerned that a change in the WordPress admin panel would overwrite changes I make, or that the WordPress control panel code makes changes by adding code before/after a certain line, and I'd somehow break that.</li> <li><strong>Put the blog pages in an iframe:</strong> Prevents blog permalinks and seems to undercut the SEO benefit of a blog. Even if I could get around this with some kind of .htaccess hackery, I'm concerned having the page in an iframe could cause browsers to block some WordPress functions for security reasons.</li> </ol> <h2>Code I Want To Include</h2> <ol> <li>session_start(), cookie handling and database connect in PHP at the top</li> <li>A header just after <code>&lt;body&gt;</code> that I include using <code>&lt;?php include('header.php')?&gt;</code></li> <li>headerProcessing.js script that I include in the head tag (along with jquery)</li> <li>CSS file for header styling</li> </ol> <p>I'm stumped and can't seem to find anything with Google - any help appreciated. Thanks!</p>

    1. COWordpress doesn't "hijack" anything... it dynamically creates its own pages. If you want the Wordpress generated pages to look the same as pages in your existing website, then you simply need to create your own Wordpress "theme". [There is endless documentation about how to do this](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development). There are even bare-bones starter themes that you can copy & edit.

    2. COA fair objection - I've changed "hijacks" to "controls", which is more neutral. And I recognize that that's good for more common use cases, especially blogs by non-tech people. But I need to add custom code and JavaScript that calls pages that interact with my database, which is different from just trying to use WordPress to get it to "look" the same.

    3. COMy comment had nothing to do with semantics. Wordpress does not "control" your page either. If you're on a Wordpress page, then that page was _dynamically created_ with Wordpress. If you're on some other page outside of Wordpress, then it does nothing.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
