1. Go to Divi Theme Builder & Add New Page Template

Go to Divi Theme Builder & Add New Template

Start by going to the Divi Theme Builder and add a new template.

Use On

Use this new template on all pages.

• Use On: All Pages

2. Start Building Custom Header Design

Continue by building a custom header inside the page template.

Section Settings

Background Color

Once inside the template editor, you’ll notice a section. Open that section and change the background color.

• Background Color: #FFFFFF

Spacing

Remove the section’s default top and bottom padding next.

• Top Padding: 0px
• Bottom Padding: 0px

Border

Add a top and bottom border too.

• Top & Bottom Border Width: 1px

CSS ID

And include a CSS ID. Later on the tutorial, we’ll use this CSS ID to place the section below each page’s first section.

• CSS ID: custom-header

Z Index

Last but not least, we’ll increase the section’s z index to make sure it appears on top of all page content.

• Z Index: 99999

Add New Row

Column Structure

Continue by adding a new row to the section using the following column structure:

Sizing

Without adding any modules yet, open the row settings and allow the row to take up the entire section’s width.

• Use Custom Gutter Width: Yes
• Gutter Width: 1
• Width: 100%
• Max Width: 100%

Spacing

Remove all default top and bottom padding as well.

• Top Padding: 0px
• Bottom Padding: 0px

Main Element

To make sure all columns remain next to each other on smaller screen sizes, and to center the column content, we’ll also add two lines of CSS code to the row’s main element.

display: flex;
align-items: center;

Column 1

Spacing

Continue by opening the column 1 settings and add some top and bottom padding to the spacing settings.

• Top Padding: 20px
• Bottom Padding: 20px

Border

Add a right border to the column as well.

• Right Border Width: 1px
• Right Border Color: #002d4c

Add Image Module to Column 1

Upload Logo

Time to start adding modules! In column 1, we’ll need an Image Module. Upload your logo.

Alignment

Move on to the module’s design tab and change the image alignment.

• Image Alignment: Center

Sizing

Modify the module’s width across different screen sizes too.

• Width: 4vw (Desktop), 7vw (Tablet), 12vw (Phone)

Add Menu Module to Column 2

Select Menu

On to the second column, there, we’ll need a Menu Module. Select a menu of your choice.

Layout

Move on to the module’s design tab and change the layout settings as follows:

• Style: Centered
• Dropdown Menu Direction: Downwards

Menu Text

Modify the menu text settings too.

• Menu Font: Cabin
• Menu Text Color: #77848d
• Menu Text Size: 16px (Desktop), 15px (Tablet), 14px (Phone)
• Menu Line Height: 1.8em

Dropdown Text

Then, change some colors in the dropdown text settings.

• Dropdown Menu Background Color: #ffffff
• Dropdown Menu Line Color: #002d4c

Icons

And complete the module’s settings by changing the hamburger menu icon color in the icons settings.

• Hamburger Menu Icon Color: #002d4c

Add Button Module to Column 3

Add Copy

On to the next and last column. There, we’ll need a Button Module. Add some copy of your choice.

Alignment

Move on to the module’s design tab and change the button alignment.

• Button Alignment: Center

Button Settings

Continue by styling the button in the button settings.

• Use Custom Styles For Button: Yes
• Button Text Size: 13px
• Button Text Color: #002d4c
• Button Background Color: #ffffff

Then, add some custom padding across different screen sizes.

• Top Padding: 16px
• Bottom Padding: 16px
• Left Padding: 24px (Desktop & Tablet), 13px (Phone)
• Right Padding: 24px (Desktop & Tablet), 13px (Phone)

• Box Shadow Vertical Position: 0px
• Box Shadow Blur Strength: 0px
• Box Shadow Spread Strength: 2px (Default), 6px (Hover)
• Shadow Color: #002d4c
• Box Shadow Position: Inner Shadow

3. Automatically Place Header After Each Page’s First Section Using JQuery

Add Code Module to Column 2

Now, to automatically place the menu below each page’s first section, we’ll need a bit of JQuery code. To include this code in our custom header, add a Code Module to column 2.

Insert JQuery Code

Add the following lines of JQuery code, between script tags as you can notice in the print screen below, to the Code Module to apply the effect:

jQuery(function($){
$(‘#custom-header’).insertAfter(‘.et_pb_section_0’);
});

4. Save Theme Builder Changes & View Result

And complete the custom header by saving all theme builder changes and viewing the outcome on your pages!

Final Thoughts

In this post, we’ve shown you how to automatically place the custom header you build using Divi’s Theme Builder after each page’s first Divi section. You’ll only need to build the custom header once, add the JQuery code and the custom header will automatically be repositioned. This is a great way to change up the menu’s normal top-page position and allow your hero section to shine first. You were able to download the template for free as well!
