Global Sections: How to add, edit and choose conditions

Global Sections let you build a piece of content once — a header, footer, popup, or notice — and control exactly where it shows up across your site. This guide covers creating one, setting its display conditions, and editing its content with Elementor.

What is a Global Section?

A Global Section is a block displayed throughout the site, as opposed to content that belongs to a single page. A navbar or footer are typical examples, since they need to appear on every page.

Gomax adds a Global Sections feature that treats each section conditionally: you create a section once, then choose where it should — and shouldn’t — display. This is useful whenever a specific page needs a different navbar, or you want a popup or notification to appear only in certain places. You can customize the content of any Global Section with Elementor, using any widget, the same way you would build a regular page.

If you imported the demo data, several ready-made Global Sections are already available in the list. You only need to adjust where they display and customize their content.

Add or edit a Global Section

1. From the WordPress dashboard, go to Gomax » Global Sections.
2. Click Add New to create a section, or click Edit next to an existing one in the list.
3. Give the section a title. This is only for organizing the list — it isn’t shown on the site.
4. Set the display conditions in the Global Section settings:
   • Section Type — the type of section you’re adding.
   • Display Rules — the locations where this section should appear.
   • Exclude Rules — the locations where this section should be hidden.
5. Click Update to save your changes.

Editing settings and building content are two separate actions in the list: click Edit to adjust the section’s settings, and Edit with Elementor to build its content.

Customize a Global Section with Elementor

1. From the WordPress dashboard, go to Gomax » Global Sections.
2. Find the section you want to customize and click Edit with Elementor.
3. Build the content using Elementor widgets, the same way you would on a regular page.

You can delete any entry from the Global Sections list to stop it from displaying on your site — useful if you imported demo sections you don’t plan to use.

Tip

Global Sections pair well with regular pages built in Elementor. See Creating Pages and Setting Your Homepage for the basics, or Mega Menu: How to add, edit and customize for advanced navigation.
