Divi – How to add a small design element to the header

Divi – How to add a small design element to the header

The Preview

Since you’re already ON this website.. look up at the upper left corner of the header. Yeah

Right there.

 

Then someone asked me how I did it. So here’s the tutorial on that.

The Code

#main-header {
	overflow: hidden;
	position: relative;
}
#main-header:before {
	content: "";
	position: absolute;
	display: block;
	top: -76px; /* Play around with the value to get what you want */
	left: -106px;  /* Play around with the value to get what you want */
	width: 260px;  /* Play around with the value to get what you want */
	height: 145px;  /* Play around with the value to get what you want */
	background: #d00;  /* Play around with the color to get what you want */
	transform: rotate(-45deg);  /* Play around with the value to get what you want */
	transition: .3s all ease-in-out;
}
/* This is for the header on scroll */
#main-header.et-fixed-header:before {
	top: -76px; /* Play around with the value to get what you want */
	left: -106px; /* Play around with the value to get what you want */
	transition: .3s all ease-in-out;
}

Pretty simple, right?

PS. If you use a gradient background, sometimes it looks blurry, and I don’t like blurry objects. So I think it’s a low-skill level method.

Get Breakdance

Breakdance is, in my opinion, the best page/site builder on the market, which is why all my tutorials use Breakdance. It's also why I have an affiliate link. You don't pay extra, but I get a little commission, so it helps support the site. Thanks!

Get ACF Pro

Another essential plugin for site building. This isn't an affiliate link, it's just for convenience.

Get WP Codebox Pro

If you'd like an easier to use, and more advanced code management plugin (instead of just editing and making files yourself) then WP codebox pro is for you. Adding php, js, and even SCSS. Pretty nice! Affiliate link below.

Blank Plugin

Sort of blank. It's made to be easy to use with the tutorials. Download and edit any way you see fit.
