Global Component

tinnyRocks — Sun, 15 Dec 2024 20:26:26 GMT

I have used Growth theme for creating a website.
I have used Storm Lite theme for blog post page.
I don't want Header of Storm Lite theme on blog post page.

Is it possible to have header of Growth theme, its actually Global component.

I have no option to remove this header.
I also tried to clone the theme, but its not helpful as I'm not able to edit base.html file.

Hi @tinnyRocks,

Modules and global components cannot be shared between themes.

To use the Growth theme header in Storm Lite, you must develop it within Storm Lite.

Hi @tinnyRocks,

Each theme's global components are set up differently. Since I’ve never used the Storm Lite theme, you should contact its developers instead; they might have documentation.

@tinnyRocks - I was scraathing my head over this, but I suspect your best option is the following:

- Create a new blog post template within the Growth theme file hierarchy that includes the global header reference you want to keep.

- Replace the "guts" of the template with the HubL from the Storm Lite blog post template

- Reconcile any CSS or module issues arising from the transplant.

- Switch the " blog post tempate" reference in your blog settings to your new file.

- Adjust as required.

Best of luck!

Hi @tinnyRocks

You will need a developer who will create the header in your Storm Lite theme.

Thanks!
