I cannot display the header region in my Drupal theme

I am not seeing the content I have for the header region in my drupal theme is it best practice to use the following code in the page.tpl.php? 

<?php include('region--header.tpl.php'); ?>

I see the content when I use the code above but I cannot see it when I use the code below:

<?php if ($page['header']): ?>
  <?php print render($page['header']); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

In my .info file I have the following code: 

regions[header] = Header
Solution

  • Copy your base region.tpl.php file to the theme's templates folder. region--header.tpl.php file and region.tpl.php file should be placed in the templates folder.
