Genesis Custom Headers has reached the end of its life. The plugin was built to solve a problem that will soon no longer exist. The advent of block themes utilizing the Site Editor has superseded Genesis Custom Headers. Critical support will still be provided in the support forum, but the plugin is no longer being actively developed.
Originally designed to allow the easy addition of custom images and featured images to selected posts, this plugin was greatly expanded to provide a wide range of header content options which are listed below. It is important to mention that this plugin does not add headers to every page of your site like some other plugins in the WordPress plugin repository. Genesis Custom Headers allows you to add customized headers to pages, posts, and public custom post types.
Also, this plugin purposefully includes minimal styling so that custom headers can adapt to your site. Therefore, custom CSS will occasionally need to be added to achieve the precise aesthetic you are looking for. Custom CSS can be added directly from the plugin Settings Page. If you have questions or would like to request additional features, let me know in the plugin support forum.
This plugin is only for Genesis Framework users. Genesis is a premium product of <a href="http://www.studiopress.com" rel="nofollow ugc">StudioPress</a>, which has no affiliation with Genesis Custom Headers.
<h4>Header content options</h4>

Aura Header Footer for Elementor lets you design custom headers and footers with Elementor’s full drag-and-drop editor, then control exactly where they appear using flexible display conditions.
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Go to Aura HFE → Header Templates or Footer Templates.</li>
<li>Click Add New Header Template — a clean modal popup appears.</li>
<li>Set the template name, display condition, include/exclude pages, and sticky options.</li>
<li>Click Create — you land directly in the Elementor editor.</li>
<li>Design your template, publish, and it’s live.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Modal creation flow — configure everything before opening Elementor.</li>
<li>Separate Header & Footer pages — clean dedicated admin pages for each type.</li>
<li>Display Conditions — Entire Site, Front Page, Blog, Archives, Search, 404, All Singular, or Specific Pages.</li>
<li>Page Exclusions — hide a template on selected pages regardless of include rule.</li>
<li>Sticky Header — make any header sticky on scroll with optional slide animation.</li>
<li>Inline Active Toggle — enable/disable templates without leaving the list.</li>
<li>AJAX Delete — remove templates without a page reload.</li>
<li>Performance First — one DB query per template type per page, per-request memory cache, assets only loaded when a template is active on the current page.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Theme Integration</h4>
Place these hooks in your theme to output templates:
<pre><code><?php do_action( 'aura_hfe_header' ); ?> — in `header.php`
<?php do_action( 'aura_hfe_footer' ); ?> — in `footer.php`
</code></pre>
<h4>For Developers</h4>
Action hooks: <code>aura_hfe_loaded</code>, <code>aura_hfe_activated</code>, <code>aura_hfe_deactivated</code>, <code>aura_hfe_meta_saved</code>, <code>aura_hfe_template_created</code>
Filter hooks: <code>aura_hfe_header_hook</code>, <code>aura_hfe_footer_hook</code>, <code>aura_hfe_resolved_template</code>, <code>aura_hfe_template_matches</code>, <code>aura_hfe_include_rule_options</code>, <code>aura_hfe_evaluate_include_rule</code>, <code>aura_hfe_sticky_offset</code>, <code>aura_hfe_render_post_id</code>, <code>aura_hfe_cpt_args</code>, <code>aura_hfe_active_templates_query</code>
Add a custom display condition:
<pre><code>add_filter( 'aura_hfe_include_rule_options', function( $opts ) {
 $opts['woo_shop'] = __( 'WooCommerce Shop', 'your-domain' );
 return $opts;
} );

add_filter( 'aura_hfe_evaluate_include_rule', function( $result, $rule, $pages ) {
 if ( 'woo_shop' === $rule ) {
 return function_exists( 'is_shop' ) && is_shop();
 }
 return $result;
}, 10, 3 );
</code></pre>
