Take control of your WordPress header and footer without editing theme files or setting up a complete theme builder.
Qreative Header Footer Designer gives you a focused place to create header and footer templates, design them visually with Elementor, and choose exactly where they appear. Use one layout across your whole website or create different designs for specific pages, posts, and WordPress views.
It works with the Elementor editor you already know, includes dedicated widgets for your logo, navigation and search overlay.
🎨 Create your header or footer in three steps
- Create a Header or Footer post.
- Choose where it should appear.
- Build the layout visually with Elementor.
That is all you need to replace your theme's standard header or footer with a design that fits your website.
✨ What you can do
- Design with Elementor: Use Elementor containers, widgets, responsive controls, and styling options.
- Replace theme headers and footers: Create custom layouts without modifying theme files.
- Control where templates appear: Display a template across the entire website or target the front page, blog, pages, posts, archives, search results, or the 404 page.
- Include or exclude specific content: Assign layouts to selected pages and posts or prevent them from appearing in particular places.
- Create sticky headers: Keep important navigation visible while visitors scroll.
- Manage multiple templates: Activate templates, set priorities, and quickly filter the template overview by type.
- Build multilingual layouts: Use translated templates with WPML or Polylang.
🧰 Included Elementor widgets
The plugin includes the essential elements needed for a practical website header:
- Qreative: Site Logo – Display the logo configured in WordPress Site Identity.
- Qreative: Menu – Add and style an existing WordPress navigation menu, including responsive mobile navigation.
- Qreative: Search Overlay – Add a compact search trigger that opens an overlay search form.
🎯 Flexible display conditions
Choose where every template should be used:
- Start with broad rules such as Entire Website, All Pages, or All Posts.
- Target common WordPress views such as archives, search results, and the 404 page.
- Select individual pages or posts when a layout is only needed in specific places.
- Add exclusions that always take priority over broader include rules.
This makes it easy to use a global header, create a simplified layout for landing pages, or show a different footer in selected areas of your website.
🚀 Need more than headers and footers?
Qreative Header Footer Designer Pro extends the free plugin with tools for more advanced website layouts:
- Build richer navigation with mega menus: Design dropdown content with Elementor and assign it directly to your WordPress menu items.
- Create off-canvas panels: Add slide-out navigation, contact panels, or other content without crowding the page.
- Design popups and modals in Elementor: Open them from a button or automatically after a delay, scroll depth, or exit intent.
- Reuse sections across your website: Design content once and place it in other Elementor layouts or WordPress content.
- Target WooCommerce and custom post types: Show layouts on shop and product views, custom post type archives, and individual entries.
- Add a better WooCommerce cart experience: Place a cart button in your layout that opens a convenient slide-out cart panel.
- Fine-tune sticky headers: Set a sticky offset and show or hide the header based on the visitor's scroll direction.
The free plugin remains fully functional for building and displaying custom headers and footers. Pro is an optional add-on for websites that need these additional layout tools.

⚙️ Requirements and compatibility
Elementor must be installed and active. Qreative Header Footer Designer is intended primarily for classic WordPress themes. Block themes already provide header and footer editing through the Site Editor, so compatibility can vary by theme.
