How can I show different headers for custom post type drop down template in wordpress

Question

I have a Custom post type called cme-education which has a drop down to select a custom post type template (similarly how you would with a page template drop down for pages in wordpress). When I select the template, it works however, I want to be able to show a different header for that template but I am not sure how to achieve that.

my code for the drop down CPT template is in template-in-conversation.php file

<?php
/*
 Template Name: IN CONVERSATION 
 Template Post Type: cme-education
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

and then I have a header file which has an if statement to show the associated headers based on the condition header.php file

 if(is_singular('in-conversation')){
        get_template_part('includes/headers/header_in_convo'); 
    } else {
        echo "not found";
    }

Answer 1

You need to add a custom header file for that like header-in_convo.php.

Then you could do this:

if(is_singular('in-conversation')){
    get_header( 'in_convo' );
} else {
    echo "not found";
}
