Static Headers, Footers and Side Bars? v1.4.2

[LuzDeLaDiosa]

I think I'm probably misunderstanding something. The point of a header, footer, and side bars is that they are, more or less, static--saving you from having to edit them on every page. I could be wrong because I have so little experience with block code but, at least in Novator, it looks like you have to set the footer (and maybe other navs) on every single page. Is that by design or is it something the creators are still working on? Same thing with the header categories navigation. Navbar categories usually pop up on a page navigation bar in or under the header when a category is set to active in admin panel, but it looks like it will have to be created manually and, I'm guessing, set on each and every page? Is that right?

OK, I'm working on some edits to create an includes folder for header, footer, and maybe side bars and I'll post here after testing. Thanks!

You're right—headers, footers, and navs should be global. In the Novator theme, though, some elements may need to be manually set per page due to how the layout system works. It's by design for flexibility, but definitely adds extra setup. Try using Design > Layouts to apply blocks across pages more efficiently.
