What are Header and Footer?
The Header
The Header is the top part of a page and is what customers see first when they enter your online store. This is where you put the navigation to other pages of your website, store logo, or even a banner for announcements or sales promotions.
The Footer
The Footer, as its name suggests, appears at the bottom of a page. It is usually packed with important information about the brand such as contact, social media, policies, etc.
Can I edit my Header and Footer in GemPages?
The Header and Footer sections of your page hold special significance as they are global, ensuring a consistent appearance across all your pages. Customization of these sections is limited to your theme settings.
GemPages, being a page builder, exclusively modifies the body section—the central part between the Header and Footer. Editing your theme’s Header and Footer directly using GemPages is not possible. However, you have the option to toggle their visibility when creating a page, and you can also create a new footer within GemPages to replace the theme footer. For detailed instructions on this process, refer to this article.
How can I edit my Header and Footer then?
As managed by your current theme, head over to Shopify Admin > Themes > Customize to start editing your Header and Footer.
From here, you will be able to do some basic editing to the Header and Footer section, along with that a few Theme settings such as Colors, Typography, Search, Social Media, Favicon, etc.
On the other hand, some themes come with their own Theme Editor. This allows for more powerful features & editing freedom than the current Shopify Theme Editor.
