Elements Header on Blog page doesn't show up

Hi guys,

i am editing a new page and have to install a blog. i tried to make a header in "Elements" but it didn't show up even i connect the header to the page in "Display Rules" ...
And in the backend of the blog there is no possibility to connect to the Elemetens-header either...
Also when i deactivate the Navigation Menu, it is still visible... i need help - Thank you !

Hi Leo,

in the content box is the following :

"<h1>NEWS // BLOG</h1><br>
<h3>Unsere Partner, Events und mehr </h3>"

the display rules in the backend are:

"Page / News Blog"

and i marked "no navigation" in "Site header", but the menu is still visible ...

perfect - the header is now visible, but why is the navigation not hidden ?

i did it in Elements (Site header) and in the backend of the site ...

i did and the navigation is hidden, but then there is no "Page Hero" to edit the header ???...

Now i don't understand ... the Menu is always in the header on my sites... (?)

i have 2 pages on this website - "Home" a one-page Landingpage with Ankers and the "News Blog"
and for both i edit ELEMENTS header - different ones of course and on the blog header i deactivated the navigation, but it is still visible.
i don't want the Navigation on the blog page, because it doesn't work there, because this Navigation menu are just Ankers of the "Home" page, so i have to hide it on the blog page.

And in the old theme the deactivation of navi, header, footer etc. worked propberly, but in this new Element thingie not...

is there a CSS to hide the Menu on the blog page ?

when i create a new "Layout" in Elements, the menu is gone, but there is no way to edit the header, because there is no "Page Hero" Section... this Page hero section is just visible, when i create a new "header" in Elements... and when i do that, it is the same problem

If I understand you correctly, you would need two elements to accomplish what you have in mind:

- A layout element to hide the navigation.

- A header element to create the page hero.

Both of them can be assigned to the Blog page and shouldn't interfere with each other.

Does that make sense or I'm still missing something?

well... normally i just clicked on "no navigation" in the (header) Element in the tab "Site header" and the Navi Menu was gone... or deactivated the Navigation in the backend of the page

but if it has to be that way now, that i have to create 2 Elements for one side, to get this result, then you are right - i need a layout without Navigation and a header section i can edit

... my question is just "why"?... it always worked with just "deactivate primary navigation"

Ahh ok I see what you are saying.

normally i just clicked on “no navigation” in the (header) Element in the tab “Site header” and the Navi Menu was gone

Yes this option should work - Looks like there is a conflict when this option is activated.

or deactivated the Navigation in the backend of the page

This won't work as WordPress ignores all metabox on index pages.

I'll take a closer look at the first issue :)
