There are a lot of outdated articles online telling people to use CSS if they want to hide the header or footer of a page using the Kadence WordPress theme. But, there’s actually a much better way to do it that doesn’t use CSS. It actually removes the header or footer from the page for real instead of just hiding it with “display:none”. This method doesn’t seem to be well publicized (perhaps it is new?), so I’ll show you how to do it here!
The Solution: Use “Page Settings”
The key is to use the somewhat hidden Page Settings section of the page. Here’s how to get to the settings:
- Edit the page where you want to remove the header or footer on.
- Click the Page Settings icon in the upper right corner.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the right sidebar to see the “Disable Header” and “Disable Footer” controls.
- Set appropriately and update the page! That’s it!
