- Create a New Header Template: Go to Bricks > Templates > Add New in your WordPress dashboard to create a new template for your custom header. Choose the “Header” template type when prompted.
- Design Your Custom Header Layout: In the Bricks Builder interface, design the layout for your custom header. You can add sections, rows, and elements to create the desired structure for your header. Common elements for a header may include:

- Configure Responsive Behavior: Ensure that your custom header looks good on all devices by configuring its responsive behavior. Bricks Builder allows you to adjust the layout and styling of elements for different screen sizes (desktop, tablet, mobile).
- Preview Your Custom Header: Once you’ve designed your custom header layout, preview it to see how it looks. Make any necessary adjustments to the layout or styling to ensure it appears as desired.
- Save Your Header Template: Once you’re satisfied with your custom header design, save your changes and publish the template. Your custom header template is now available for use on your website.
- Assign the Header Template: Go to Appearance > Bricks Settings > Header in your WordPress dashboard. Select the header template you created from the dropdown menu to assign it as the header for your website.
- Publish Your Changes: Once you’ve assigned the header template, save your changes. Your custom header should now be live on your website and visible to visitors.
