How do I edit the Hello Theme’s header and footer?

The introduction of free Header and Footer customization for the Hello Theme allows everyone to create a basic header and footer design for their site by using the Elementor Site Settings. If using Elementor Pro, and already have a header and footer with display conditions set, the ones created here will not be displayed.

Locating The Settings

The Header and Footer customization options will be found under your Site Settings. For more information about global site settings click here.

Note: This feature will be active only on a new site. Existing sites need to opt-in to this feature through the Experiments screen. Once activated, there will be two new sections under the Site Settings > Theme Style.
