Elements not showing on page.
2 replies · Started by Steve on January 6, 2022
I am working with headers and other elements. I have some elements set to show on only one page. When I go onto the editor the element is not listed as an active element and not showing. Is there a limit to how many elements a page can have? I have a few that are site wide and a few for specific pages.
So it looks like there can only be one header per page. I have site wide small banner that I wanted site wide and then different header images for specific pages. Is there a way to do that?
Hi there,
thats correct - there can only be 1 x Header Element on each page.
Alternatives:
Block Elements - you can have as many as you want on a page, theres a few docs on them including a page hero specific one.

Hook Element - if you're into HTML / Code then you can do the same as Block Elements without the need for the block editor.

For positioning in the template both the above Elements use the GP Hooks - which you can see placement of the general ones here:

For reference the Header Element gets hooked into the generate_after_header hook
