Creating a sticky header in Elementor involves a few steps to ensure that the header remains fixed at the top of the page while scrolling. Here’s how you can create a sticky header:
- Access the Theme Builder:
- In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to “Templates” > “Theme Builder” in the Elementor menu.
- Create or Edit the Header Template:
- If you haven’t created a header template yet, click on “Add New” to create one. Otherwise, locate and edit the existing header template.
- Make sure your header template includes all the elements you want in your sticky header, such as your logo, navigation menu, etc.
- Make the Header Sticky:
- Select the section containing your header elements by clicking on it within the Elementor editor.
- In the left panel, under the “Advanced” tab, find the “Motion Effects” section.
- Toggle the “Sticky” option to “On.”
- Adjust the “Offset” setting if necessary to control when the header becomes sticky. This determines how far down the page you need to scroll before the header sticks.
- Preview and Adjust:
- Click the “Preview” button to see how your sticky header behaves while scrolling.
- Make any necessary adjustments to the sticky header’s appearance or behavior, such as adjusting spacing, font size, colors, etc.
- Save Your Template:
- Once you’re satisfied with your sticky header design, click the “Save” button to save your changes.
- Publish Your Template:
- After saving your header template, click the “Publish” button to make it live on your website.
- Test Your Sticky Header:
- Visit your website and scroll down to test your sticky header. Ensure that it remains fixed at the top of the page as you scroll, and that it behaves as expected on different devices.
That’s it! You’ve successfully created a sticky header in Elementor. Now, your website visitors will see the header fixed at the top of the page as they scroll down.
