The introduction of free Header and Footer customization for the Hello Theme allows everyone to create a basic header and footer design for their site by using the Elementor Site Settings. If using Elementor Pro, and already have a header and footer with display conditions set, the ones created here will not be displayed.

The Header and Footer customization options will be found under your Site Settings. For more information about global site settings click here.
