Build a Global Header & Footer with Divi Theme Builder

What this covers: Creating a site-wide header/footer (and optionally excluding certain pages).
You’ll need: Divi Theme Builder access.

Steps

  1. In WordPress, go to Divi → Theme Builder.

  2. Click Add Global Header → Build Global Header (or choose Add From Library if you have one saved).

  3. In the header layout, add your modules (common: Image for logo, Menu for navigation, Button for CTA).

  4. Click the purple … menu at the bottom → Save.

  5. Back in Theme Builder, click Add Global Footer → Build Global Footer and add your footer elements (contact info, socials, copyright).

  6. (Optional) To exclude pages: click the gear icon on the Theme Builder template → Use On tab → toggle pages/posts/categories to include/exclude.

  7. Click Save Changes in the Theme Builder.

Quick troubleshooting

  • Header not showing? Make sure you clicked Save Changes in Theme Builder (not just saved inside the layout builder).

  • Styles look off? Check if another plugin is minifying/combining CSS aggressively.
