Header Footer Elementor has been a cornerstone of the Elementor ecosystem and the broader WordPress community for the past six years.
What began as an internal experimental project at Brainstorm Force has grown into a true labor of love, which now powers millions of users to create dynamic, customized headers and footers with ease.
And the best part?
We’ve always provided this value-packed tool completely free—because we believe in empowering creators like you.
Today, we’re thrilled to share some exciting news:
Header Footer Elementor is now the free version of Ultimate Addons for Elementor.
These changes are part of our effort to unify the two plugins into one cohesive family, streamlining your experience and unlocking even more possibilities.
But let’s be clear:

It’s the same dedicated team, the same trusted plugin, the same passionate company—just a more unified and cohesive experience. The Header Footer Elementor plugin you’ve known and loved is still the same, packed with the same features.
We know how frustrating it can be when rebrands or acquisitions completely change the nature of a product you rely on. We’ve seen plugins we once admired transformed into something entirely different—stripping away their original value. We’ve seen it, experienced it, and we’ve hated it ourselves.
That’s why we want to assure you: this is not that. Your plugin remains exactly as you know it, built and supported by the same team, with no surprises or compromises.

A Story of Passion and Innovation
When Elementor first launched, it was an exciting time for the WordPress community. But back then, Elementor didn’t have a Pro version, and its functionality was limited to editing page content.
One weekend, we asked ourselves: Could the header and footer—two of the most important parts of a website—be edited with Elementor too?
Fueled by curiosity and excitement, we started experimenting. In just three days, we built the first version of what would become Header Footer Elementor. We uploaded it to the WordPress repository as a free plugin, not knowing what to expect.
To our surprise, it was an instant hit. Thousands of users downloaded it, loved it, and shared their feedback. Over time, it became clear that we had created something truly valuable for the community.
From a Weekend Project to Millions of Websites
Since those early days, we’ve poured countless hours into maintaining and improving Header Footer Elementor. We’ve added features that make it easy to create dynamic headers and footers that perfectly match your vision:
- Complete Dynamic Control: Design headers and footers with Elementor’s drag-and-drop simplicity.
- Rule Engine: Set different headers or footers for specific parts of your site.
- Advanced Features: Easily manage and select the type of templates for the header, footer, before footer section, or custom block.
- Dynamic Widgets: Use specialized widgets to create exactly the design you’ve envisioned.
And here’s the best part: It’s always been free, and it will remain free.
This plugin has been a true labor of love—our way of giving back to the WordPress community that has supported us over the years.
So Why the Change?
Simply put, we wanted to bring clarity and cohesiveness to your experience.
For a long time, Header Footer Elementor existed as a standalone plugin. While it was immensely valuable on its own, many users didn’t realize they could unlock even more design potential with Ultimate Addons for Elementor.
By unifying these two plugins into one family, we’re bridging that gap. Our free plugin is your gateway to creating dynamic headers and footers, while Pro expands on that foundation with advanced widgets, section blocks, and features.
This isn’t a rebrand for the sake of rebranding—it’s about creating a seamless journey for you, the user.
What’s Staying the Same?
We understand that change can feel unsettling, so let us reassure you:
- Same features: The free version of Ultimate Addons for Elementor retains all the features you love. Build headers, footers, and blocks with the same ease and flexibility.
- Same team: The same passionate people who created and supported this plugin for over five years are still behind it.
- Still free: This is the free version of Ultimate Addons for Elementor and will remain completely free—no strings attached.
We haven’t taken anything away. Instead, we’ve added many improvements to enhance your experience, unified UI and a modular control panel.
What’s New?
While nothing has been removed, we have made some thoughtful additions:
- Unified user experience: Both Free and Pro now share the same interface, making it easier to navigate between them.
- Seamless upgrade path: If you ever decide to explore the Pro version, transitioning is smoother than ever.
These updates are designed to make your experience more cohesive and intuitive without disrupting the way you use the plugin.
2 Million Sites and Counting: A Humbling Milestone
When we launched this plugin over six years ago, we never imagined it would become such an integral part of the WordPress ecosystem. Seeing over 2 million websites rely on our plugin is deeply humbling. Knowing that it’s earned the trust of so many users inspires us to keep raising the bar.
Your support—whether it’s through reviews, forum interactions, or simply using the plugin—has been the driving force behind our work.
And for that, we are profoundly grateful.
What’s Next?
We’re just getting started. With this unification, we can now focus on delivering even more value to you:
- Enhanced support: By bringing Free and Pro together, our team can provide faster, more streamlined assistance.
- New features: We’re actively working on innovative tools to make Elementor even more powerful and versatile.
Our goal remains the same: to empower you to create stunning websites effortlessly.
