Every great website needs to have a great header, that’s why when we’ve created our premium multi purpose WordPress theme The Core, we’ve built 6 types of headers for you to choose from.
The header contains different elements like your logo, the main menu and depending on the options you select for it, can contain your website’s search or/and your contact info (email/phone number).
Header options location
In order to start choosing your header type you need to login into your WordPress admin and go to Appearance > Theme Settings > Header
Header types
Plenty of options here to satisfy every need. The 6 header types come with specific options based on the type you select and on top of that you can control other general options like make it absolute (put it on top on the header image), or making it sticky.
Here is a short video on how it works:
Type 1
A more classic header type, you’ll find this one on a lot of websites.
The Core demos that use this header type out of the box: Molino, Spotless, Path Finder, The Core, Keynote, Wellness, College, Quantum.
Type 2
This is also a popular header type.
When you first choose the type 2 header, your header will look like this:
That happens because the Top Secondary Menu option from Appearance > Menus is not set yet. Think of it like 2 separate menus, one on the left of the logo (the Top Primary Menu) and one one the right (the Top Secondary Menu).
The Core demos that use this header type out of the box: Kid Quest, Hitched, Creed, Hope, Gourmet, Kaufman.
Type 3<
Usually used when you want your contact info in the header (an email or phone number).
None of our demos for The Core uses this type of header yet.
Type 4
A very good option if you have a cool logo or want your company’s logo to stand out by positioning it on top of your main menu.
The Core demos that use this header type out of the box: Swipe, The Chatter.
Type 5
This header type will display your main menu as an overlay on your entire website. Works best when you have only a few items in the main menu.
The Core demo that use this header type out of the box: The Trip.
Type 6
Best use for a personal website.
None of our demos for The Core uses this type of header yet.
