Hi there,

its because you’re using the Elementor Canvas template which strips all Theme Elements.
Instead use the Default Template and use the Layout Element:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/layout-element-overview/

You can select which Theme Elements you don’t want to be displayed, title, sidebards etc and set the Page Builder container to full width. Then use the display rules to set which pages you want it to effect.

Hm….. Sorry David!
I Imported the template from Envato templates and didn’t noticed that it was using the Elementor Canvas.

I also want to merge the header with the main container and make header transparent so content of the main container shows behind it.
You have instructed me about that here
https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/main-navigation-use-container-background/
but I guess now with “Elements” those instructions are deprecated.

Can you please help me once again?

Thannks

Not a problem, you can use the Elements Header and set the Site Header to Merged:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/header-element-overview/

Although you won’t be using the Hero content ( i assume ) you need to add something to the editor for it to work. Just add a HTML Comment like this:

<!-- merged header -->

One more thing.
How can I change Bg color JUST to the sticky navigation? (incuding logo etc)?

[David]

For a merged header:
Set the Colors you want for Sticky in the Customizer > Colors Primary Navigation.
For the static merged header set its colors in the Header Element > Site Head tab > Navigation colors

Hello,

I’m coming back to that.
Is it possible to “unmerge” in the mobile view the merged header?

Thanks
Harris

[David]

Yes, in the Header Element > Site Header Tab – when selecting Merge you can set it for Desktop only.
