Builder Basics: Headers and Footers in Full Site Editing

Nearly every website has a header and footer. Full Site Editing makes managing these content areas a breeze. In this social learning space, we’ll explore how to edit the header and footer of a block theme using the Site Editor. You will also learn how to completely redesign these areas and how to add unique headers and footers on different page templates.

This session will be accessible to all skill levels, but some prior knowledge may be helpful. I recommend the following resources:

• Intro to the Site Editor and Template Editor
• Using Template Parts
• Designing with Columns, Group, and Row Blocks

Learning Objectives

• Understand how to edit the header and footer of your block theme
• Understand how to add custom headers and footers to different templates
• Feel comfortable managing these areas in both the template Editor and Site Editor
• Understand the difference between a template and template part

What is Builder Basics?

The WordPress Editor is a blank canvas that allows us to express our creativity and design beautiful layouts using blocks. However, building with blocks is a paradigm shift to traditional website design. Sometimes it can be challenging to know where to start, especially in the context of Full Site Editing.

In the “Builder Basics” series, we’ll attempt to demystify components of the building experience. From a deep dive into the Query block to an exploration of block alignment and spacing, you’ll learn to master the basics of modern WordPress design. While some familiarity with the Editor is recommended, these sessions are designed for all skill levels and require virtually no coding.
