Unfortunately, the card for the video with the "Transparent Header" never popped up. Any way you could post the link? Also is there a way to turn this header/footer off and build one threw elementor? Thank you for your time.

Wow, you really put together an amazing tutorial for editing an Astra website! I now know after watching the video that I don't need to use the pro version of Elementor with Astra.
