This really is an outstanding video and very helpful, especially for a 55 year old beginner like me. But man, you talk fast. :-) Thanks for the assistance. You are a great teacher.
Thank you for your detailed Information. Together with your explanations on your Blog, I was able to follow the Instructions and create a beautiful Header! That was great Information! Karin from Germany
@@elegantthemes Only thing I noticed: Can't have a dropdown menue with your header. It does not drop down. Do you have any hint how to work around this?
This is outstanding - I think it's one of the very best tutorials I've ever seen for Divi, and likely for anything website related. THANK YOU! He's such a great teacher!
how do we prevent if from overlapping content on the top of the page? For example when people go to my cart page the title "cart" is covered by the menu.
Below your new menu > Add a new section > Add 'height: (your total menu height)!important; '. This will bump down your page to start below your new menu ...(in: Advanced>Main Element)
To make the Global Header sticky it is not necessary to insert a CSS code. There is a line in the row settings "Scoll effects" where you can make a hook on "stick to top". Sorry for my english, but I have translated it from the Divi Builder in German language.
Thanks for the video great content!! Very happy for the explanations as I'm getting to learn Divi and is definitely amazing tool. Just quick feedback keep the explanation pace for the WP areas but when it comes to divi explanation can you slow down a bit it will be easier to the audience to follow.
I've created a submenu using the theme builder. But the submenu displayed behind the full width slider. How can I display my dropdown menu above the full-width slider?
My global header hides the content on the page (e.g. some portion of the full width slider on top). How can i restrict other sections to start below the global header?
There is this workaround. I hope Elegant Themes comes with an own solution/upgrade for this issue. For now this may help. Thanks to Pee-Aye Creative: ruclips.net/video/6URyPP7OCfw/видео.html Go to your backend, your WP dashboard and Add code to the < head > of your blog. You'll find this here: DIVI- Theme Options -Integration. Copy and paste the following code over there: jQuery(document).ready(function(){ var totalheight = 0; jQuery(".et-l--header .et_builder_inner_content .et_pb_section").each(function(){ totalheight = totalheight + jQuery(this).outerHeight(); }); totalheight = totalheight + "px"; jQuery("#et-main-area").css("padding-top",totalheight); }); Good luck
Same problem here solved without script : add one more section in your custom header, default position and z-index, after that you can manage with height or padding
Hi mak - great video - but when we check it in inspector in chrome (Iphone 6-7-8 eg) it does not look any good..... you HAVE to be better at this... the phone view in DIVI does not match the real world...... hope you get me.... it is just so frustrating....
Kevin Allen. I found a work around to fix it. It’s another Divi thing that doesn’t quite work. Instead of putting the radius on the section I put it on the bottom row. I then had to mess with the radius settings choosing the Hover state first and then back to the desktop state or else it didn’t work... I think there are some teething problems with some of the theme builder settings. Mak’s stuff is great but very fast and not many explanations for why he is doing things. For example if you do set overflow to hide you will lose any drop down menu. Gotta love Divi even though sometimes the first time you do something is very painful.
Can you add a drop-down section to the menu and show us how to modify that section of the menu please. Also.. How do I align the hamburger menu to the right in a 2 column header?
What do I need to do if I have more pages that nest under my menu items? How do I get this to be visible? I am having trough getting this to show on my pages. It does show when I am in the Edit Theme Builder.
This is great - however my header (which I made full width rather than max width of 1280px has a "scroll bar" left to right every-time I hover over the header. Obviously I cannot use it like this - can anyone advise what I've possibly done wrong?
Hi Mandy!👋 To check the dropdown menu, please, open the Menu Module Settings and then, with the opened Module, you can open the dropdown menu. Have a look at the screenshot: prnt.sc/1d5gb10 If you still have any questions, create a ticket with the Support Team: www.elegantthemes.com/members-area/
A lot of settings ...... I have Lifetime access to Divi but looking at how many steps and settings have to be done, make's me DI(VI)ZZY !! There must be a way to just drag & drop this and click save ?? any suggestions, Brizy ?? Duda ??
something seems wrong with this header. it blocks a good portion of the web page. it's meant to show the full web page and then become sticky during scrolling
@@LDOYT I ended up getting rid of the header entirely, using a normal full width section and saving it as a global section, and then apply it to each page individually. Its not ideal but I can still make changes in one location that apply to the whole site and it responds appropriately. Not a proper fix but it'll get me by.
Thanks for the work-around but am I the only one that thinks that the fixed header and footer options should be built into Divi? This and the mobile glitches really do need to be fixed in an update and SOON.
Hi!...everything its great..but I want transparent header....everywhere i put my background color to transparent and its still white:)....Can you helped with that:)?.....Thanks...best regards from Slovenia
Hey mak i am facing some prob please help me When i am trying to add new row for menu coulmn the row is overlapping the global header row instead of going below the header row and also i cant move with move tool as well can you please what possibly could be the reason for this
This video is really good but misses out a lot of stuff you might need. BEWARE, once applied you can't access the top sections module to edit pictures or any top/first module settings. The module editor is obscured by the global header. There are issues with drop-down menus and the mobile version. I had to get the support guys to fix these issues (which took several hours). They had to add extra code. Eventually, I had so many problems I deleted it in the end. If you have a basic site with no drop downs this is good. Anything more and you might have problems.
Hey MAC, the CSS SNIPPET [display: flex;] is not working for me, impossible to align the mobile menu with the logo in the header, any other solution to align the headers?
i walked through this and it works great and looks great when I'm in the divi builder. However when I attempt to make it active, it's missing the actual menu column....
Extremely helpful as I was going crazy trying to achieve things like a sticky menu and now you've covered most of my questions with one tut :) One question though, how would you code getting the menu to reduce in size (including the logo) and remain sticky on scroll?
I noticed you were setting your text sizes to 10px on tablet and mobile. Just a heads up that accessibility for disabled users require that you have text sizes 12px and above! Remember the disabled users!
Hi MAK I had problems with the header lying under my body on my shopping side, but it was usually on my other sides. I solved it by writing the following CSS in the Theme Options> General> Custom CSS: header.et-l.et-l--header { z-index: 99999; position: fixed; width: 100%; }
I've just been in contact with Divi support. They tell me it's a known bug. This code should be written instead of the one I wrote before. #page-container {padding-top:70px!important;} .et_builder_inner_content {position:initial!important;} @media screen and (max-width:980px) { .et-tb-has-header #page-container {padding-top:70px!important;} }
As someone who understands CSS there are a couple things that can be improved here. - max-width should be applied to the Row not the Section - Instead of setting the top-margin:10px, you should be using flex-box to center this items within the Nav It's a shame Divi does not allow you to customize flex box options within the Design tab.
Thank you so much for such a great tutorial!! I have one question though, how can i reduce the height of the header? On the desktop, it seems to fill up most of the screen
Hi Muthoni! 👋 You can reduce the Section/Row/Module height to adjust the height. If you have more questions, please, create a ticket with the Support Team: www.elegantthemes.com/members-area/
This is great, thank you! Just 2 quick questions, 1) If you wanted to also make the header more "transparent" upon scrolling, how would you go about adding that functionality? Would you do a before: & after: code snippet in the advanced tab under the css customizations somewhere? 2) Is it possible to create a "dynamic" global header that changes according to the segment based on a toggle button on the secondary menu?

This code should be written instead of the one I wrote before.
#page-container {padding-top:70px!important;}
.et_builder_inner_content {position:initial!important;}
@media screen and (max-width:980px) {
.et-tb-has-header #page-container {padding-top:70px!important;}
