Page header

The top of every page except the home page: the breadcrumb trail, the page's title and an optional intro. It fills itself in from the page it is on (a page's title, a blog post's title with its date and author, search, your account), so you only change it when you want different words. Give it its own colour scheme or image, separate from the section under it.

Where to find it

In the theme editor, Add section › Page header. The theme starts with it on: Blog, Blog posts, Collections list, Default page, Page template "about", Page template "compare", Page template "contact", Page template "find-a-branch", Page template "help", Page template "help-index", Page template "quick-order", Page template "request-quote", Page template "reseller-application", Page template "support", Search.

Good to know

Leave Heading and Intro empty to use the page's own title. The cart, product and collection pages and the sign-in pages draw their own header and do not use this section.
