Before we start creating custom Header and Footer in Divi 4

First, hover to the Divi icon in your WordPress dashboard. Where you’ll find the Theme Builder option in between Theme Options and Theme Customizer option. As shown in the image below.

Now, after entering the Divi Theme Builder, you’ll find a Default Website Template and an Add New Template.

On the top right corner of the Divi Theme Builder, you’ll get three options: reset all templates, see history of created templates and an option to Import, and Export custom templates. On clicking the Add New Template column, we get Create template settings menu. It has multiple options where you want to use that new custom template, like for pages, posts, archives, projects, 404 pages, and multiple options in all particular options.

With the Default Website Template, we can assign those custom footer and header sections all over the website.

When we click on Add Global Header Section, we get two options: Build Global Header and Add From Library. We will select the first option. On progress, it will again show three options, where we will choose Build From Scratch. We will land on the blank page with a section. Now, design your header as you want. In my case, I have designed it with a full-width menu module and custom logo and background.

After you’ve done designing your custom header, you can save it by clicking on the save button in the bottom right corner. And Theme builder will automatically assign it as a Global header for the website. You can also save this Header section by clicking on the Add Library button. So, you can export or import it for future use.

It follows the same process for the Footer Section as Header Section. You can either build it from scratch or choose a premade layout or can clone an existing page. In my case, I have saved the footer section from Divi’s theme library. And use it as a footer section for my website.

After you’ve done creating and assigning both the sections. Don’t forget to save changes in the Divi Theme Builder area.
