Header Template Structure
We usually include the following elements in the header structure:
- Logo
- Menu/Navigation
- Right button
- Login/Registered button
- WooCommerce shopping cart icon
- The header layout can be structured using wrappers, columns, and page items
Header Mode
We offer three header modes under Header Settings > Header Mode:
- Normal: The header stays at the top of the page and scrolls away with the content.
- Floating: The header becomes visible only after the user scrolls down slightly.
- Sticky: The header remains fixed at the top of the screen as users scroll.
Responsive Display Settings
In PixeBuilder, you can control which devices your content appears on using the Responsive Display settings.
Access the responsive setting in:
- Desktop: Show or hide the content on desktop devices (large screens).
- Tablet: Show or hide the content on tablets (medium screens).
- Mobile: Show or hide the content on mobile devices (small screens).
Simply click the icons to enable or disable visibility for each device type.
This gives you full control over how your layout adapts to different screen sizes, helping you create a truly responsive and optimized website. For instance, you could create a new container designed to appear exclusively on tablet and mobile; within this container, you can swap the standard WordPress Menu for a Hamburger icon that triggers a mobile-specific popup menu.
For in-depth instructions on configuring the mobile header to display specific elements across desktop, tablet, and mobile views, refer to this article: https://docs.pixebuilder.com/mobile-menu-setup/
Mobile Navigation (Hamburger Menu)
For mobile and tablet layouts, it is standard practice to use a Hamburger Button to conserve screen space. In PixeBuilder, this button acts as a trigger to open a custom-designed popup containing your menu.
Create a Mobile Menu Popup: Navigate to PixeBuilder > Templates > Popups and design a new template containing your mobile navigation links.
More information about the popup builder can be found here: https://docs.pixebuilder.com/popup-builder/
Link to the Popup:
-
-
Select the Hamburger Button and open the General tab in the sidebar settings.
-
Expand the Link Settings section.
-
Set Link To to Popup.
-
Under Select Popup, choose your pre-designed mobile menu popup from the dropdown menu.

Customize Header by Device in PixeBuilder
With PixeBuilder, you can easily assign different Headers for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
Besides using the default settings, you can also create separate Headers specifically for tablets and mobiles, and assign them directly in the template or page settings. This ensures a better layout and user experience across all devices.
