# Custom Header without Elementor

 * First off let me start off by saying this is by far the best theme I have worked
   it. I’m migrating a few sites from Betheme and Avada tho OceanWP as the new Google
   Lighthouse update is killing my SEO due to those bloated themes slowing down 
   my pagespeed.
 * I would like to keep the plugins as minimal as possible, I’m already using WPBakery
   Visual Composer. I tried creating a new header to the library but didn’t see 
   any WPBakery options in the editor.
 *  Is there any way to create a custom header without having to install ELementor?
   Elementor looks nice but to convert all the pages I have from Visual composer
   to elementor will be a long task and I want to avoid that. I know I can keep 
   ELementor and Visual composer at the same time but I don’t want to slow down 
   the site by having multiple builders installed. OR will having Elementor installed
   just for the custom header not hurt anything? Thanks for any help in advance

 * Hello,
 * You need to enable the Visual Composer for the custom post type – ‘my_library’.
   Please follow the documentation here and let me know it works or not.
