I truly did not know this was there brother...thanks a bunch...I'm adding a couple now. I was trying to create something like this with images. Saves you so much time!
I didn't realize you could control display by roles. Often with membership sites you have a specific role for members. Being able to display based on roles is a big plus in these circumstances.
Yes, you can do some neat things very easily, almost effortlessly. If you implement lead magnets, make it for only people that are not logged in. Just so many ways to leverage this.
WOW! I've been ignoring this feature for months now. I tend to use a Global widget of Elementor to create sections that are globally available. This feature is a bad ass! Thanks for the further explanation of your video.
Interviewing a potential client tomorrow, and I'm going to tell her about Astra. She's using Divi, which I respect, but I can see lots of marketing potential with this.
I just got started with wordpress and started by creating my website using the Astra theme and the outdoor adventure starter site. The header and menu text is white with transparent background to contrast with the background picture. When adding sub-menus, this causes a problem as the background of the sub-menus are white and the text is white… How do I change the sub-menu properties - both font and background (solid color or transparency)?
Hi You know how to create a custom the no results pages from search? Because I create my search results archive, but when the search return 0 results, the layout is other
Hello, Adam! Thanks for your awesome tutorial videos, especially this one. I wonder, if I can make custom header with Elementor within custom layouts but at the same time preserve the below and above header, which is offered by Astra's customiser. When I now swtih ch to custom header, both disappear. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. If I don't use a page builder, I just have Astra Pro and use the Gutenberg editor - does that mean I can't take advantage of this custom layouts feature the way I could if I did have a page builder?
I got Astra Pro a couple of days ago (via your link) and wanted to use it with Thrive Architect but the two don’t seem to play nicely. It simply won’t work with custom layouts. :(
There's a third party plugin for Genesis called Genesis Hooks - but it's so essential it should be built into the theme! And Genesis Hooks isn't page builder friendly
is astra theme layout system limited to header, footer hooks? is there a way to make woocommerce category or product layouts just like Elementor pro layout system? bad things about elementor is that is rips the hooks out. Thanks for sharing this video
Without Astra Pro the blog "Page" looks horrible. What if I just created a blog page with elementor and made my menu "Blog" link to that page? But would I then have duplicate content?
Is Thrive Architect able to create or edit these Astra custom layouts? I’m tired of waiting for Thrive Theme Builder, so I’m considering to move to Astra Pro but keep using Thrive plugins.
If you have Astra Pro use the Astra custom layouts, you have much more flexibility as the elementor one,as exemple I wanted to add a custom header on a Woocommerce Product Categorie no chance to do it now with elementor.
Laurent Heck Schema is what search engine crawlers get from your website and show on the search results, it can be the header (menu), 5 star rating, post's publish/update date, ... For now, Elementor unfortunately doesn't have schema with it's menu builder, yes you can build great and beautiful menus but can't be detected by search engines.
Hello Adam, which would be the correct hook for designing a page header with elementor? I know that Astra has custom page headers but there is no possibility to put an elementor section, so I thought that maybe with custom layout it could be done... have you ever done something like that?
Hi adam, I see on your website that you answered someones question about custom blog category pages saying that elementor would implement it in march 2018, Do you know if they have done that yet? Thanks for your vids :)
Brilliant, Can you recommend any layouts or templates for a newspaper/blog style website, Preferably one that has all the pages like a 404 page etc as that is something most tut's seem to miss out. I was going to try the newspaper 8 theme but would rather use elementor :) Thanks again
Love that, thanks for another great video! Does that mean that having Astra Pro I can get away with Elementor Free, as much as custom page templates are concerned?
Thank you! NOW I understood how to use this feature. Just one question - editing a hook customized layout using elementor does not work for me. Elementor is loading forever. Do I need Elementor Pro for that?
Indeed you can - however with themer you can do a bit more on things like headers, such as transparency. Also, themer lets you build layouts for archive and single post types, especially for well known post types like woocommerce and event calendar. I don't think astra custom layout goes that far yet. Maybe that's all on their roadmap so you might be able to possibly ditch Themer down the line.
Thx Adam! Any new thoughts on using Astra Pro vs Beaver Themer for custom layouts and beyond? I have both and am confused about which to use in various areas where their functionality overlaps?
Why not use GeneratePress to do this? Most of what I see it easily done already in Elementor Pro, right? Thanks for the concise review, always nice to know what's out there.
With GeneratePress there are hook areas, but you would have to use a shortcode or something like that to get the content in the various hook areas and then you don't have any targeting options. Also, you can't hook into anything with Elementor alone.
Elementor Pro have only header, content and footer, you can't for example hook into before/after header, before/after content, before/after footer, before/after sidebar, ...
I can do this with GeneratePress Premium, which I believe is better written and more efficient code compared to the other themes out there. And it has an unlimited license. I am open to suggestions... GP Hooks does the same for me.
I have GeneratePress too, and I agree we can do all that with a clean code, but Astra theme is for non coders, (With just few clicks you get the job done), as Adam call them "Non-Techies" that's the focus of Adam in his videos/tutorials, that's why you don't see him making much tutorials about GeneratePress, but he always mention it as a good and robust theme for people that are looking after light and clean coded websites.
Astra is my first bought theme, when using their templates, I found that Astra templates need a lot of plugins, even building header they needed Elementor header and footer plugin. I then shifted to Kadence, Kadence is a lot more powerful than Astra, I almost need no extra plugins for building site. In my opinion, Astra is even weaker than GeneratePress and Blocky. After watching your video, I found that I made a good decision leaving Astra, it's bloated and not as powerful as other themes like Kadence.
Again you are wrong. This is your 2nd silly comment on my channel today. Astra is near identical to what all those themes offer, and far superior in many areas, especially WooCommerce, 3X more starter templates, it even offers a full theme builder. Sounds like you are referring to a template you choose that is based on Elementor. The same happens when you install a starter template from those other themes that uses Elementor. But I think you already know this and must have some ax to grind vs being rooted in facts or reality.
@@WPCrafter Astra relies a lot on Elementor, they have a lot of templates made with Elementor, so the reality is that using Astra templates, there needs to be lots of plugins.
@@HaifengZhu-pn3uq Except Astra doesn't rely at all on Elementor, it's simply an option. Spectra is were all the magic is happening including a fully automated AI powered website solution that exclusively uses Astra and Spectra. See ZipWP.com

Great video as always, thank you. Good refresher on what I have available to me with Astra Pro.
Thanks for watching Zach Devine!
love this! As I re-build my new website, this will come in really handy!!! Thanks Adam!
Thanks for watching Elyssa Manis!
Great INFO!! Having just purchased Astra Pro, didnt know this feature existed. This feature will definitely come in handy.
Yes this is one of those power features, yet its insanely easy to use.
I knew those customizations exist because I am watching your videos :-)

I would like to see an example with cutom sidebar with Astra Mountain theme.

How do I change the sub-menu properties - both font and background (solid color or transparency)?
No, I had no idea. I just got astra pro and am struggling with it.
May I ask how the 10 minutes and 11 seconds page in the video adds a download page to the article page?

What can you do with hooks that you cnn not do in Elementor theme builder
Without Astra Pro the blog "Page" looks horrible. What if I just created a blog page with elementor and made my menu "Blog" link to that page? But would I then have duplicate content?
Thanks for this video, Adam! Can i use this feature to create the black ribbon look at the top of your website where there is login button etc?
Is Thrive Architect able to create or edit these Astra custom layouts? I’m tired of waiting for Thrive Theme Builder, so I’m considering to move to Astra Pro but keep using Thrive plugins.
Do the hooks work to creat archive pages to show various parts of the custom post type and the acf pro fields?
Hey Adam, love your videos. Are you able to export the layouts. I’m looking at using them on other websites without having to redesign.
nice video... Si it's better to make a custom header with astra custom layouts or with elementor custom headers ?
If you have Astra Pro use the Astra custom layouts, you have much more flexibility as the elementor one,as exemple I wanted to add a custom header on a Woocommerce Product Categorie no chance to do it now with elementor.
What Marcel said and also, you get proper schema with Astra, Elementor doesn't have that yet.

No it should work fine. You can reach out to the developers for support.
Adam, ever think about creating any videos comparing WordPress to Joomla, Drupla, Wix, 1and1, etc?
Yes I have and really need to spend the time doing that.
Can you use this to add custom code to functions.php?
Nice video Adam. I use Beaver Themer instead. It looks like it can do the same. Am I right?

I use short codes in the hooks of content that I make in Elementor and save as an element, if I remember correctly. No coding, easy.

Hey Adam, can astra pro be used as a news theme?
I guess you can do the same with elementor theme builder as well
Question - if your building your post template with a page builder do the content after hook in Astra work?
Or would you do it in elementor somehow?
Sounds quite similar to Joomla, no?
