Hi there,
It seems like you’re facing a common issue with WordPress. Since you’re using the free version of the Astra theme, the Header and Footer Builder is not included. This feature is only available in the Astra Pro version or with other plugins.
Here are a few steps you can try to resolve or work around this issue:
- Check Theme Customizer
Go to Appearance > Customize in your WordPress admin panel.
Look for options related to the header and footer (this is where Astra usually allows customization, even in the free version).
- Install Astra Header Footer Plugin
Install the “Header Footer & Blocks for Elementor” plugin by Brainstorm Force (Astra’s developers).
This plugin adds header and footer editing functionality to the free Astra theme.
- Manually Edit Through Theme Files
If you’re comfortable with coding, you can edit the header and footer PHP files directly:
Go to Appearance > Theme File Editor (if enabled by your hosting provider).
Look for header.php and footer.php to make changes.
Important: Always back up your website before making changes.
- Switch to a Page Builder
You can use a page builder like Elementor (free version) to design custom headers and footers. Combine this with the plugin mentioned above.
- Contact Hosting Provider
Since you’ve checked most things, there’s a chance your hosting provider might have restricted file editing for security purposes. Contact them to confirm.
Let me know if these steps help!
