Different headers/footers for woocommerce/blog

[zalguod]

I have a website with two main parts: a shop and a blog

I would like to customize the headers and footers for each part. For instance, the shop will show in all pages information about shipping and contact/support, which is something that only brings noise to the articles in the blog.

One solution is to have two installations of WordPress and a reverse proxy to put them in the same domain, but this create many problems like:
1) Duplication of content (ex: images) and customizations (colors, configurations)
2) The impossibility of including product widgets in the blog and blog posts widgets in the shop
3) The impossibility of a cart in the blog
4) The impossibility of a unified sitemaps.xml (at least not without some hacking)

I would prefer to keep a single site and do some conditional include/replace in the code that renders the header/footer.

Any ideas/workarounds/tips?

You would need to work with a developer for this. The WooCommerce conditionals are actually simple though.

if ( is_woocommerce() ) {

}

Returns true if on a page which uses WooCommerce templates (cart and checkout are standard pages with shortcodes and thus are not included).

if ( is_shop() ) {

}

Returns true when on the product archive page (shop).

Ref: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/conditional-tags/

The blog conditionals would be as simple as check for the slug or page id for the blog page. Ex:

if ( is_page( 42 ) ) {

}

// When Page 42 (ID) is being displayed.

if ( is_page( 'Contact' ) ) {

}

// When the Page with a post_title of “Contact” is being displayed.
