Header template (created with Elementor) not showing

Hi Marcus, you can disable the GP header from the WP Editor > Layout meta > Disable Elements or you can do this globally:

Thanks David.

Sorry if I'm being a real simpleton here, but in which GP Hook section should I insert the code:

add_action( 'after_setup_theme','tu_remove_header' );
function tu_remove_header() {
remove_action( 'generate_header','generate_construct_header' );
}

For your first approach, where is the WP Editor? I can't find it nor the Layout Meta section...

Thank you again.

Hi Marcus, not a problem you can add PHP various ways as described here. For simplicity i recommend the Code Snippets plugin option:

See here regarding the disable elements:

Thanks David, very helpful!

One final question: Would you recommend to use the default Header from the GP theme or to use the Elementor Header template?

I find the latter more customisable, but am unsure if it will have any drawbacks since I'm using the Zeal theme from GP?

Thanks again!

Hi Marcus,

hard not for me to be biased, but personally i always use the GP Header, it has schema markup, a great sticky navigation and the slide out navigation is really cool. Plus it's easier to introduce new break points. You can also merge it with a GP Page Header. And there's nothing stopping you adding elementor templates to that or any of the widget areas or hooks.
If you need a hand styling the header and navigation in GP then we can provide assistance and CSS.

Thanks David - appreciate your views on this. I will play with both and see how it goes!

Marcus

You're welcome!
