This plugin is free. If it helps your project, consider supporting on Patreon.
Template Types
Create four types of templates:
- Header — a custom header for your site
- Footer — a custom footer for your site
- Before Header — a zone above the header, useful for announcement bars
- After Footer — a zone below the footer
Adding or Replacing the Theme Header
By default a template is added alongside your theme’s own header or footer, so nothing in your existing design changes unexpectedly.
Each template also has a Replace the theme’s own header / footer option. Turn it on and the plugin takes over the theme’s header or footer hook. Automatic replacement is supported on Astra, GeneratePress, OceanWP, Hello Elementor, Neve, Kadence, Blocksy, Storefront and Genesis.
On any other theme, add do_action( 'bphfe_header' ); or do_action( 'bphfe_footer' ); to your child theme wherever you want the template to appear.
