    Hello. I have built a header and footer in core WordPress, which work just fine on an Elementor page I created from scratch. But, the canned Elementor pages like Contact us, Our Services, and Our Story have a canned header and footer, and I can’t access them through the Navigator. How does Elementor decide which header and footer to use for a given page, and how do I change its mind so I can a) edit the canned header and footer in Elementor, and b) put the header and footer I created onto a canned Elementor page? How do I put the canned Elementor header and footer onto a new blank page? I can’t even find the template parts or patterns for the canned Elementor header and footer; they are not in AdminPanel>Appearance>Editor>Patterns. Thanks.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    I’m afraid that there is no way to do it with our current Elementor Core  features. Do have a feature to edit you header and footer layou you will need to purchase Elementor Pro.

    REF: https://elementor.com/help/creating-a-header-template-with-the-container/

    There might be third-party plugins available that have such a feature so you can join our Elementor Facebook Group ? and check with our users there for such a plugin recommendation.

    Finally, I would like to apologize for not being able to provide this particular solution at the moment. I hope for your understanding.

    If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us again.

    I wish you all the best, and have a great day!

    Wow, a site builder that doesn’t allow header and footer customization, imagine that.??Ok, can you help with this issue:?? to be clear, this phenomenon is not occurring in the Editor. In the Editor settings the Visual Editor is checked on. But, in the Sidebar Design Panel under AdminPanel>Appearance>Editor, before I select something to edit, where WprdPress normally displays the home page, I’m getting just a box full of code, not the home page itself. When I actually Edit with Elementor the home page, it goes to the visual editor. But when I’m not editing, the home page displays as a block of code. How do I change it back to normal?

    Hi @dixonds,

    The Admin Panel > Appearance > Editor is managed by the active theme, not Elementor Core. For assistance with this, it’s best to contact your theme’s support team, as they can provide the most accurate guidance.

    If you need any further assistance, please let us know.

    Kind regards,

    Thank you. I have sent a query to Automatic, the manager of the Fewer theme. However, I have the Fewer theme activated on a number of subdomains, and the only place this phenomenon occurs is the root domain with the Elementor plugin. It didn’t act this way at first, just started doing it one day, so I concluded that I accidently switched some setting in Elementor. I will poke around the Fewer theme to see if there is such a setting there, but, I doubt it. Any suggestions how to proceed, without messing up the work I’ve already done?

    Thanks.

    Hello @dixonds !!
    Thank you for your reply. I’m glad this has been handled.

    Regarding the next steps to follow, we can recommend you to first of all create a backup, and then you could create a Staging site to debug this situation without affecting the current site.
    This same staging site could help the third-party theme team to debug any problem.

    We will conclude this conversation; feel free to contact us again for further questions.

    Have a good day!
