HOW TO: Change Your Header in WordPress
What is WordPress Header?
WordPress Header is a universal element that appears on every page and post of your website. Using our Casbay website as an example, the header is the bar located along the top of this page, as well as all the features contained within it:
The header is important to the first impression of your visitors and it also carries the critical information and Calls To Action (CTAs). For instance, you may notice our logo, key menu links, and Live Chat button in the header above.
An outstanding and unique header is extremely important no matter it is a blog, online store, portfolio, or something else altogether. Many themes come with features that allow you to add your own styling, text, or image to the header, and this is known as a WordPress custom header.
