Header Options (Style and Sticky options)
Below the Header Builder you can find the options to control the Header Style (e.g. Transparent, Boxed, etc…) and the Sticky Header option (with Smart sticky option) for desktop and mobile, in addition to the option to choose the Heading (Secondary) font for the entire header elements:
Important: If you choose the Transparent style for the header, please make sure that the header areas’ background are transparent to show the content beneath it. You can access the Area settings (e.g. Main header area) by clicking on the settings button.
Tablet & Mobile Header Version
You can build the mobile header version by switching to the mobile mode and using the header builder in the same way.
Choosing website header
After you finish building the header save the changes then go to Essentials theme options, and open Layout » Header and choose the header that you just created and save the changes, after that the header will be set as default header for your website.
Choosing a custom header for a specific page
Note: if you want to use the header in a specific page instead of setting it as default header for the whole website just open the page that you want to use the header in it (in the WordPress editing mode), then choose the header from the “Custom Header” option of the page and save the changes.
