• Great! Does this work with Divi Builder too?

  • Hi Daniele,

    we’re currently in touch with Divi & Brizy to see if we can add support both page builders.

    Stay tuned! 🙂

• I use Elementor Pro to make my headers and footers, turning off headers and footers on each page and thought this could add an “info bar” to the top of pages. So, as instructed, I’ve created a new header (Appearance > Custom Sections) – just a single line of text, for testing – and saved it and it doesn’t show up anywhere! Additionally, the ‘Edit with Elementor’ button does not display (as shown in the instructions), seemingly leaving me to design this bar solely within the standard editor.
  I think a video tutorial or two should be made to show how and why this feature – which seems to have great promise – is to work, ’cause I’m just not getting it!

  • Hi Ian! 🙂

    We’re going to create a video tutorial for Custom Sections and update the documentation.

    To make Elementor work with Custom Sections, please activate “Custom Sections” in the Elementor Settings under “Post Types”. After that, please navigate to Settings -> Permalinks in the wp-admin if you get a 404 error trying to edit/view the Elementor-created Custom Sections.

    What hook do you have the info-bar assigned to? If you replace the themes default header with your custom header, the hooks (for instance wpbf_before_header) are no longer available. That may be the reason why it doesn’t show up for you.

    Hope that helps! 🙂

    Best,

• I finally found the time to get back to this tonight. Thanks for the info.

  I activated “Custom Sections” in the Elementor Settings under “Post Types.” I had no idea I had to do this – or of the existence of this checkbox – because none was mentioned in the docs (at least not the docs on this page).

  My test header now shows up – but the place it appears is below the Elementor-made header – but that’s not where I want it! I want the header I’ve made within the theme to be at the top and I’ve certainly indicated “Header” as the one of the four locations possible in the theme’s settings.

  Your talk of “hooks” totally mystifies me. I know that GeneratePress allows me to inject code into places it terms hooks (e.g. before header), but your use of this term is way above my head! Perhaps some detailed documentation, specific instructions, and a video or two might go a long way to helping relative WP newcomers like me that aren’t coders, but are using the page builders of your target market.

• Is there a way to add a script to only the front page using a custom section? Or is there another way to do this with Page Builder Framework?

  • Hi Kelly,

    Custom Sections is not meant to work for scripts, but rather custom content.

    Adding a script to the head area of the website would require custom code. There may be a plugin available that does that but I’m not aware of it unfortunately.

    The code would look something like this:

    function prefix_your_function() {
        if ( is_page( '193' ) ) { // replace the ID with the page ID you want to add the script to.
            echo 'your code goes here';
        }
    }
    add_action( 'wp_head', 'prefix_your_function' );

    I haven’t tested the snippet but it should work 🙂

• A really good post, with real and accurate infromations. David keep up the good work.

• Hola, se puede integrar con algún pluying como Master Study, o learnDash, learnpress u otro para la creación de plataforma de cursos. Actualmente tengo un tema que demora mucho mucho en cargar.

• I’m waiting for the sticky footer to work with the “Boxed Layout”. I purchased the premium because of the sticky footer. There were no instructions to tell me that the sticky footer would not work with the “Boxed Layout” I learned the hard way. There was no button to enable the sticky footer in “Boxed Layout” Once I disabled the “Box Layout” the sticky footer button was there.
