Hello,

I am trying to add cloned / edited version of a header module into a child of the “Framework” Hubspot theme. The header is a cloned group module made with the drag and drop.  
I’m unsure how to get this to work. From what I understand the "header is called in the “base.html” file below and the site-home.html file pulls in the base.html for the header and footer. I right clicked the grouped global header module and copied it’s path (highlighted below) and placed inside the header snippet. The Header shows but no css has been applied.

 ![header-link.jpg](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/7/2/72682cbef1885bc79dbec123c861857f8553cc65.jpeg)

This is what I’m seeing when viewing the actual landing page it’s on. The rest of the page renders fine.  
Is there another way to do this? I’s relatively new to HubSpot and I don’t know of any other way to get this to work.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi @Skylight104 👋

Thank you for reaching out to the Community!

I’d like to invite some community members who are subject matter experts in HubSpot CMS themes (especially Framework), global modules, and template inheritance to join this conversation.  
Hi [@Phil\_Vallender](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/74) @MichaelMa @franksteiner79 — hope you’re all having a great week! Have you seen cases where a cloned drag-and-drop global header renders but loses its CSS when included via base.html/partials? Any best-practice way to include a cloned header module so its theme/module CSS loads correctly?

Your insights would be greatly appreciated.  
Best,  
Victor
