What happens when a WordPress theme template contains the following code?
<?php get_header(); ?>
<section>Welcome</section>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
AOnly the section content 'Welcome' is displayed; header and footer are ignored.
BThe header.php content is displayed, then the section, followed by footer.php content.
CAn error occurs because get_header() and get_footer() cannot be used together.
DThe footer content appears before the header and section content.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand get_header()

    This function loads the header.php template part at the top.
  2. Step 2: Content placement

    The <section>Welcome</section> is output between header and footer.
  3. Step 3: Understand get_footer()

    This function loads the footer.php template part at the bottom.
  4. Final Answer:

    The page shows header content, then 'Welcome', then footer content -> Option B
  5. Quick Check:

    get_header() and get_footer() wrap main content [OK]
Quick Trick: get_header() loads header.php; get_footer() loads footer.php [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming get_header() or get_footer() outputs nothing
  • Thinking get_header() and get_footer() cause errors when used together
  • Expecting footer to appear before header
