Divi’s Theme Builder – How to Edit Your Global Header & Footer – Article
Some Divi sites use a global header and footer instead of the default header and/or widget/block-based footer.
- From your dashboard, hover over Divi and click on Theme Builder.
- If you see neon green sections, your site is using a global header and/or footer.
- To edit, click on the edit/pencil icon – this takes you to Divi’s visual editor.
- Before making any major changes, make sure to save the header/footer as a layout. See https://learning.worshiptimes.org/wt-guide/saving-a-page-template-layout-in-divi-video/.
- Edit the header and/or footer just like you would any other page in Divi.
- Save
If you are creating a global header or footer for the first time, you must Save, then click the X in the top-right corner to exit out, then Save Changes on the Theme Builder page before you’ll see your new header/footer.
Things to note:
- Neon green always means global. When editing, if you see anything that is neon green, it’s a global element, and ANY change to it will affect every single location where that element appears.
- There may be things other than a global header or footer in your Theme Builder. Often, these function as templates for posts or events. Please exercise caution before editing these templates and ALWAYS save as a layout before editing – see https://learning.worshiptimes.org/wt-guide/saving-a-page-template-layout-in-divi-video/.
