## Disgrifiad

**Header Footer Builder** is a lightweight yet powerful plugin that lets you design
fully custom headers and footers for your WordPress site — and precisely control
where each one appears using flexible display conditions.

Unlike other header footer plugins, every template comes with a built-in **include/
exclude rule system**. You can show a unique header on your homepage, a different
one on WooCommerce shop pages, and hide the footer entirely on landing pages — all
without writing a single line of code.

### Key Features

 * **Unlimited templates** — Create as many header and footer templates as you need.
 * **Display conditions** — Show or hide templates based on:
    - Entire site
    - Front page, blog index page
    - Specific pages or posts (search and select by name)
    - All posts, all pages, all custom post types
    - Category archives, tag archives, all archive pages
    - Author archive pages
    - Search results pages
    - 404 pages
    - WooCommerce shop, product, cart, checkout, my account pages
 * **Include & exclude rules** — Include a template sitewide and exclude it from
   specific pages, or vice versa.
 * **Priority-based matching** — More specific rules always win. A rule targeting
   a specific page beats a rule targeting all pages, which beats a sitewide rule.
 * **Works with any page builder** — Use the native WordPress block editor (Gutenberg),
   Elementor, or any other builder to design your templates.
 * **Theme compatibility** — Works with popular themes including Astra, GeneratePress,
   OceanWP, Kadence, Hello Elementor, and more.
 * **Zero bloat** — No external dependencies or heavy frameworks. Fast and standards-
   compliant.
 * **Developer friendly** — Clean OOP PHP, PSR-style autoloading, React-based admin
   UI, REST API-powered.

### How Display Conditions Work

 1. Create a header or footer template in the builder.
 2. Click **Conditions** next to any template.
 3. Add **Include Rules** to define where the template should appear.
 4. Add **Exclude Rules** to carve out exceptions.
 5. Save — the template is now live with smart targeting.

Rules are priority-scored: specific page/post targets score highest, followed by
post-type rules, then archive rules, then the sitewide catch-all. The highest-scoring
matching template wins.

### Perfect For

 * Landing pages that need no header or footer
 * WooCommerce stores with checkout-specific headers
 * Blogs with a different header for category archive pages
 * Membership sites with role-specific navigation
 * Multipage sites that need per-section branding

## Gosod

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/ultimate-header-footer` directory,
    or install the plugin directly through the WordPress Plugins dashboard.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Navigate to **Header Footer** in your WordPress admin sidebar to start creating
    templates.
 4. Click **Add New** to create your first header or footer template.
 5. Once the template is designed, click **Conditions** to configure where it should
    appear.

## Cwestiynau Cyffredin

### Does this plugin work with Elementor?

Yes. You can use Elementor (or any page builder) to design the content of your header
and footer templates. The plugin handles the display logic.

### Does it work with the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg)?

Yes. Templates are standard WordPress custom posts, so Gutenberg works out of the
box.

### Can I create different headers for different pages?

Absolutely. Create multiple header templates and assign each one a different set
of display conditions. The plugin automatically picks the best-matching template
for each page load.

### What happens if two templates match the same page?

The plugin uses a priority scoring system. More specific rules win: a rule targeting
a specific page beats a rule targeting all pages, which beats a sitewide rule. If
two templates have equal priority, the most recently published one is used.

### Can I exclude a template from certain pages?

Yes. Each template supports both include and exclude rules. Exclude rules always
override include rules, so you can include a template sitewide and then exclude 
it from specific pages.

### Does it support WooCommerce pages?

Yes. You can target the WooCommerce shop page, single product pages, cart, checkout,
and my account pages using dedicated display condition rules.

### Will it slow down my site?

No. Template matching is done efficiently in PHP with a single database query per
page load. There are no external API calls or heavy scripts on the frontend.

### Which themes are supported?

The plugin is designed to work with themes that support custom header/footer regions.
Tested with Astra, GeneratePress, OceanWP, Kadence, and Hello Elementor.

### Can developers hook into the template selection logic?

Yes. The selection logic is fully OOP and hookable. See the source code for the 
ConditionsMatcher class.

### Is there multisite/network support?

The plugin works on individual WordPress sites. Multisite/network-wide configuration
is not yet supported.
