Header Footer for Beaver Builder

64 Quality Score

Active Installs

18/30

With 10,000 active installs versus the 100,000+ of the parent Beaver Builder plugin, this addon occupies a clear niche but isn't widely adopted beyond existing Beaver Builder users.

Update Freshness

12/25

The plugin was updated within roughly four months of this assessment and was tested against WordPress 6.8.5, which is a positive sign for compatibility, though it predates the current WordPress 6.7+ major releases.

User Rating

15/15

A 100 out of 100 user score from 19 ratings is excellent but reflects a very small sample, so the rating should be read as encouraging rather than definitive proof of quality.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads have been opened and none resolved, which removes any signal either way; the absence of support data is itself a risk indicator for users who expect active help.

WP Compatibility

11/15

Compatibility sits at a moderate 75 since the plugin requires WordPress 3.6 (very old) but does not declare a minimum PHP version, leaving hosts running modern PHP stacks to verify behaviour themselves.

What It Does

Header Footer for Beaver Builder is a lightweight addon that lets you import any Beaver Builder page or saved template as the global header or footer across a Beaver Builder-powered WordPress site. It hooks into the theme's header and footer template locations and replaces them with your custom layouts, so changes made once propagate site-wide. Practically, it is a focused utility plugin that does one narrow job without dragging in extra builder features.

Who It's For

This plugin is best for site owners and agencies already using Beaver Builder as their primary page builder who need a simple way to maintain a consistent header and footer without editing theme files. It suits small to medium sites like service businesses, portfolios, and basic e-commerce stores that rely on Beaver Builder templates for layout control. If your site is built entirely with Beaver Builder, the editing workflow stays inside the builder you already know.

Who Should Skip It

Anyone not actively using Beaver Builder should skip this plugin entirely, since it offers no value outside that ecosystem. Sites that already use WordPress block themes, Elementor, or built-in Full Site Editing will get far more mileage from native template features or their page builder's own header/footer tools.

The Bottom Line

Header Footer for Beaver Builder scores a middling 67.08 out of 100 and earns its high user rating on simplicity and focus, but the near-empty support history and modest install base mean you are taking a small bet on the developer. It is a reasonable pick for committed Beaver Builder users who want a no-frills global header and footer, though anyone with a block theme or non-Beaver setup should look elsewhere.

Pick this instead if you do not already use Beaver Builder, since it is the parent plugin with 100,000 installs and includes its own template system that can handle headers and footers directly.

Pick this instead if you need to build full Beaver Themer layouts including headers, footers, and archive templates, especially on Pods-powered sites.

PowerPack Lite for Beaver Builder 80/100

Fullwidth Templates for Any Theme and Page Builder 79/100

Pick this instead if you need full-width page templates that work across multiple builders and themes rather than a builder-specific header and footer hook.
