What it does
Many blogs and news sites want a header area that highlights featured or recent content, but building one by hand in Elementor takes time and design work. This addon gives you a set of pre-designed header blocks instead. You get four header styles with eight layouts, plus a carousel style with two layout variants for sliding through posts, news or highlights. Each block can pull in regular posts, custom post types and sticky posts, so the header can reflect whatever content matters most on your site.
The blocks work inside Elementor, so you place and adjust them with the same drag and drop editor you already use. Elementor is required. Each addon has its own color settings, which helps you match headers to your brand, and an animation library with more than 200 effects adds entrance and transition motion. Headers are responsive and retina ready, so they adapt to different screens. The plugin is also translation ready, with .po and .mo files included for sites in other languages.
Best for
- Blogs that want to feature posts in the header
