Using “Elementor Canvas” template as well as Header Footer Elementor

Hello @lauriecf,

Unfortunately, Header Footer does not work when the page has elementor canvas template, This is because how the Elementor canvas template works, it removes all the content except the actual page content.

Since this is how it has been since the elementor canvas template was introduced. this cannot be changed now due to the backwards compatibility.

Hi Nikhil, thanks for the speedy reply!

That makes sense. Can you please advise how to get a blank page without choosing the “Elementor Canvas” feature then? (Is there maybe a WordPress theme without these extras you can recommend?) I just want blank space to work in!

Cheers ??

Hello @lauriecf,

You can use this plugin instead – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/fullwidth-templates/

And choose Full width template from this.
Let me know if this works for you.

For some reason, I get the header footer even on an Elementor Canvas page. I have installed this set-up on three different WP installs this week and the same results. I actually don’t want the header footer on a canvas. So I had to create a condition in the plugins call of the header footer to not show when is_home() or is_frontpage() is true.

/**
* Display header markup.
*
* @since 1.0.2
*/
function hfe_render_header() {

/*
* Added condition to not show footer if the page is the home or frontpage
*/
if ( false == apply_filters( ‘enable_hfe_render_header’, ‘__return_true’ ) || is_home() || is_front_page() ) {
return;
}

?>
<header id=”masthead” itemscope=”itemscope” itemtype=”https://schema.org/WPHeader”&gt;
<p class=”main-title bhf-hidden” itemprop=”headline”>” title=”<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( ‘name’, ‘display’ ) ); ?>” rel=”home”><?php bloginfo( ‘name’ ); ?></p>
<?php Header_Footer_Elementor::get_header_content(); ?>
</header>

<?php

}

/**
* Display footer markup.
*
* @since 1.0.2
*/
function hfe_render_footer() {
/*
* Added condition to not show footer if the page is the home or frontpage
*/
if ( false == apply_filters( ‘enable_hfe_render_footer’, ‘__return_true’ ) || is_home() || is_front_page() ) {
return;
}

?>
<footer itemscope=”itemscope” itemtype=”https://schema.org/WPFooter”&gt;
<?php Header_Footer_Elementor::get_footer_content(); ?>
</footer>
<?php
