LinkTips & Tricks for creating headers

When creating headers, try as much as you can to use elements inline, in a single column, aligning them either left or right horizontally, and centered vertically. They will flow more naturally vs. adding columns for each element.

For example here’s a quick screencast how to position elements inline to fit well in a single column https://d.pr/v/9WThDN .

Note: Longer format YouTube tutorials are coming soon.

LinkWhy is clicking disabled on header components in Edit mode?

For example clicking on Menu items or Search box.

Because it’s not stable and conflicts with Elementor’s actions. Hopefully i’ll find solutions in the future to enable clicking.

    The above would not load in a month of Sundays. That’s a quant old saying meaning its fucked.

    Its really helpful to have these links to the editor panels because for new kids like me for whom this stuff is not something they have been doing for the last five years it helps to visualise what you are saying. Hopefully then when I get to that panel I will remember what it was you said to do. Hopefully.
