This quick snippet will allow you to make your entire Divi Theme Builder header fixed even if you are using multiple sections and rows!

▶️ Please watch the video above to get all the exciting details! 👆

#1. Create Your Header In The Divi Theme Builder

Start off by creating your Divi Theme Builder header. If you already have done this, great, just skip ahead.

From your WordPress Dashboard, go to Divi>Theme Builder. Create a new template, and assign it wherevery you want to dispaly it on your site. In our example, we chose to assign the menu to a specific page where we are show you the demo in action.

Click on “Add Custom Header” and in the popup choose “Build Custom Header.”

In the Divi Theme Builder template, go ahead and create your design, and of coursse, feel free to use more than one section.

In our example, we made the first section with a socil media icons and a secondary menu, then the second section with the main site logo and menu.

#2. Set The Entire Divi Header To Fixed With CSS

Normally, with only one section in your Theme Builder header template, you would go to the Section settings to the Position toggle in the Advanced tab. But because we have two sections, setting them both to fixed would just cause them to overlap.

Instead of setting individual sections to fixed, we are going to set the entire Divi Theme Builder header template to fixed with a little bit of CSS. All you have to do is copy and paste this into your website.

Where To Paste The CSS Code

1. Divi Assistant
If you are using our Divi Assistant plugin, simply paste the code in the CSS tab in the custom code window in the Divi Visual Builder.

2. Child Theme
If you are using a child theme, paste this code into the style.css file. If you don't have a child theme, you can generate a child theme directly on your site or download our free child theme.

3. Divi Theme Options Integration
Otherwise, paste this code in your Divi>Theme Options>Custom CSS code box.

If you need help understanding where to paste the code, please check out our complete guide about where to add custom code In Divi.

    Hi Nelson,

    I have been following your tutorials on building headers in Divi. I have learned a lot so thanks vey much. I am trying to build a variation of the header that I don’t think you have discussed. I want to create a header with two parts. In one of your videos you said you can do this with 2 rows in the same section or with 2 sections. When you hear what I am trying to do, maybe you can advise which is the better method.

    Ok … I am trying to design a header that has a large area for text at the top and a more narrow section or row below that contains the menu. When someone scrolls down the page the top section/row scrolls up and off the page but the narrow menu section/row becomes fixed at the top of the page.

    Is this possible? Thanks again for all you do.

    Bill

    Weird. I have a three-section header built with the Theme Builder. I applied the CSS in the theme options and the first two sections disappeared. The third section is fixed, but the two other sections disappearing is a deal-breaker. Any ideas?

    Nevermind. I had to add the script as well. Thanks so much for the tutorial!

    Hello! Is there anything in the works for a tutorial for creating a top header that shrinks and disappears on scroll, while the main header remains on scroll? I haven’t figured out how to do this in the theme builder.
