Header & footer problem

    I’m having problems with eliminating the default header (with menu) and footer and using Mega Menu for the navigational menu. My menu is linked to many pages (and subpages) and the default menu doesn’t fit right for my requirements. The Page Attribute Template is set to Default template.

    I’ve tried to disable the Default header and footer, but when I do this I get text at the top and bottom of every page on my website – [elementor-template id “***”]
    – it is a Static Page site NOT a Blog.
    If I try to change the Page template I get varying results :-
    DEFAULT TEMPLATE or FULL-WIDTH PAGE – Elementor text at page top & bottom.
    ELEMENTOR CANVAS or PAGE BUILDER BLANK – no Elementor text but I have 2 scroll bars on the r/h side of page.
    ELEMENTOR FULL WIDTH or PAGE BUILDER FULL WIDTH – Elementor text AND 2 scroll bars.

    I’m at a loss as to what to try next so would appreciate any help.
    I’m a “newbie” to WordPress and finding it a bit of a challenge, but enjoying the experience.

    Many thanks in advance
    Mick

    Hi Mick,

    My guess is that you’re using the ‘Header Template’ and ‘Footer Template’ options in Ephemeris, that are available in the ‘Elementor’ panel in the Customizer. Is that correct? You’ve most likely selected a header and footer template to use, but then deleted those templates at some stage, which would account for why the ‘elementor-template’ shortcodes are displaying.

    I would recommend going into the Customizer > Elementor panel and setting those options to ‘Use default theme header’ and ‘Use default theme footer’, respectively.

    Then, if you want to create a custom Header or Footer for your site (rather than using the default header/footer that comes with the theme), you can use the built in functionality within Elementor. If you want more info on how to create your own custom header & footer within Elementor, have a look at this page – https://elementor.com/blog/header-footer-builder/
