Use this interactive demo to learn how to customize your WordPress site header using the block editor.

Quick summary

Editing the header in WordPress is done through the Site Editor under Appearance, where you can select a header template, modify its block, and save your changes instantly. This process requires no coding and applies updates live across your entire WordPress website.


Steps

  1. On the left sidebar, hover over Appearance and click Editor to open the Site Editor.
  2. Select Patterns from the list of options in the Editor menu.
  3. Click Header to access the specific settings associated with your site header.
  4. Choose the header template you want to edit from the available options.
  5. Click the header block and start making your desired changes to the content or design.
  6. Once done, click Save at the top-right corner to apply your edits.
  7. Tap Save once again to confirm and finalize your request.
  8. Your modifications will be applied instantly to the header of your WordPress website.

📌 Why this matters

Editing the header in WordPress gives site owners direct control over their brand's first impression — including navigation, logos, and layout — without touching a single line of code. Using the WordPress Site Editor's block-based interface, users can customize header templates in real time and publish changes instantly across their entire site. This capability is essential for anyone managing a WordPress website who wants to keep their design consistent, professional, and aligned with their brand identity. Mastering header editing through the built-in Patterns and Editor tools reduces reliance on developers and speeds up site maintenance workflows.
