GLOBAL HEADER –?How to change global header for events/posts – Foundry

  • I am having a problem whereby I can change the global header fine and can also override on PAGES. However, I cant seem to override or have a seperate header for my events/blog posts. I’ve tried a few events managers but none do the job. I had got around it on blog posts by adding a featured image to the background as the global header is transparent.

    However, as events show up as posts I get an issue where their is no option to override via dropdown. Also, th featured image is not able to be added in the same way, or shall I say with the ability to style in the same way.

    This presents a problem, as all i want to do is have main events PAGE with one header (dark), which I’ve now done. Then have the same header for all the event POSTS listed. The homepage and rest of the site can keep the global (light) header.

    Can anyone help with this?

    So far I have encountered the issue using:

    Foundry theme and Events Manager

    Foundry theme and WP Event Manager

  • I don’t know about events, but in blog posts and the blog home page (the one that is supposed to display excerpts), the header seems to be nailed down in every theme I’ve tried. You can tweak it a little here and there, change the background color (in some themes), as well as attach a tiny logo of your own. Apart from that, you’re stuck with what they’re giving you.

    On static pages, it’s a different matter altogether. On a static page, you can say good-bye to the theme which only gets in the way anyway, and do what you like, pretty much – with WordPress’s native editor or Elementor. The theme will get in the way here and there, like when you want to play around with fonts or stick a piece of html code in the text section of the text widget, but all in all, on static pages you’re the boss.

    The blog page won’t even let me use Elementor.

    All this, I suspect, is meant to get you to “upgrade” to paid versions of everything – themes, plugins, and the editor. Whether any paid version is any better than the free version (less buggy, less intrusive) is anybody’s guess. Some are, and some are worse, I would imagine. The free versions are in no way reassuring.

    I may be wrong about all of the above – I’m kind of new to this. But that’s my impression so far.
