In this video, I’ll show you the beautiful new way of creating and managing page headers in the new GeneratePress Premium, version 1.4.

It’s a totally new approach that’s elegant, flexible and dynamic. Very powerful in fact!

With this new feature, you definitely don’t need a page builder like Elementor to create those nice full width or full screen hero image page headers. In fact in this particular demo, I haven’t even got Elementor installed!

The default WordPress way of adding and displaying content is really easy.

You add a page or post. Fill in a few fields. Hit publish.

And when you view that page or post, WordPress uses your theme’s ‘single post template’ to display it on the front end.

There are loads of advantages to this typical approach:

• It’s really easy to add content to the site. Just fill in some fields.
• It’s easy to maintain, because the design of your posts is controlled in just 1 template.
• It’s client proof—they can’t ruin your design.
• It’s efficient and saves time.
• It gives you—the designer—total control over design consistency.

Your theme does have styling controls for single posts and pages in the Customizer. For a lot of people, this is the only styling control they need.

But as a non-coder designer, you’re using Elementor because it gives you total custom drag-n-drop control of your designs.

Controlling the column layout for different responsive screen sizes in Elementor used to be…. errrrm…. less than ideal.

You created your column layout for desktop; you were stuck with that for tablet; and then for mobile, it all dropped to a 1 column layout.

You could tweak the mobile view in an obscure hidden setting that a lot of people couldn’t find, but… still not great.

I even made a video about a month ago showing you a hack for controlling the column layout better on tablet. A plugin came out to handle it too.

Well I’m delighted to say that the latest version of Elementor has made all this soooo much easier and flexible and powerful.

You might already know that Elementor is an amazing WordPress page builder.

It allows non-coder designers like yourself to build 100% custom-designed WordPress pages, exactly as you want them. It’s really visual, and it’s drag-n-drop. It works in the way designers think, with no code required (hurray!)

But if you’re like many designers, once you’ve used Elementor for a while, you might soon find yourself thinking:

“Hmmm… my theme still handles my header – my logo and navigation area. I wonder if I can use Elementor to design my website header as well?”

Generally speaking, Elementor’s responsive editing features are pretty good.

But a lot of people get stuck trying to fully control the column layout in the tablet view. The editor doesn’t really give you any control, at least not at the moment. If you want to control how many columns there are side-by-side on tablets, using the default controls…. you’re out of luck!

I recently made a video called ‘How to Create More Complex Nested Layouts with Elementor‘.

I showed you a method first where I create a section with the ‘Add New Section’ button, and then dragged the columns widget in for further rows. I mentioned that I didn’t recommend this method because it can cause layout consistency issues. But… I didn’t elaborate on why!

Lots of people ask me how I made the custom designed footer on my website.

It’s actually not part of my theme. I switch off my theme’s footer completely and instead use the Elementor page builder to build my footer template.

I then replace my theme’s footer with the Elementor footer template instead.

It’s really easy to do, and it’s likely you can do it with your current theme.

The Elementor page builder makes creating beautiful responsive layouts in WordPress drag-n-drop easy.
