Headers and Footers can be applied conditionally based on one or more variables, such as whether a user is logged in or out, the user’s role, browser, operating system, and much more.
To apply conditions to a Header or Footer, first navigate to the appropriate area in the WordPress admin panel and click “Settings” under the Header or Footer that you want to edit.
In the settings modal, you’ll see an “+Add Condition” button. Click this to add a conditional display rule to the Header or Footer.
To add multiple conditions using AND logic, click the “AND” button to the right of a condition.
To add multiple conditions using OR logic, click the “+Add Condition” button again to create an OR group.
