I have the following code in header.php to echo the body's id: <body id="<?php echo $body; ?>"> which is taken from a variable from index.php: $body = "home";
The output result is: body id=""
Any suggestions to fix this?
(I made var_dump($body) and the value is "home" so the variable is working)
header.php:

wp_title( '|', true, 'right' );
