Description
PressMeGPT – Header & Footer for Elementor is a free helper plugin for PressMeGPT.com — the AI-powered WordPress website builder, converter, and theme generator that allows you to both create themes with prompts, no code, and migrate existing HTML websites to native WordPress themes. This helper plugin lets you apply a global header and footer to your PressMeGPT-created Elementor website without requiring Elementor Pro.
When you generate or migrate a website to WordPress with PressMeGPT, your exported Elementor template includes Elementor JSON files for the header and footer. This plugin lets you upload those files and set them as the sitewide header and footer — displayed on every page, in both the browser and the Elementor editor.
Note: Gutenberg theme and Classic theme exports do not require this plugin. You can simply use PressMeGPT to generate multipage WordPress themes with AI and install in the “Themes” section of your WP-ADMIN.
Key Features:
- Upload an Elementor JSON export to Elementor and instantly set it as your global header or footer
- Browse and select from templates already in your Elementor library
- Edit your header or footer directly in the Elementor editor at any time
- Works with Elementor Free — no Elementor Pro required
- Full-width rendering on both regular WordPress pages and Elementor canvas pages
- Mobile hamburger menu support included in PressMeGPT exports
- Works on AI website created sites as well is site conversions/migrations/transfers from website providers including:
HTML, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Framer, Drupal, Joomla, Weebly, Blogger, Claude Code, ChatGPT/Codex, Lovable, Base44, Bolt.new, v0.dev, Gemini, and more.
