How to Remove Header/Footer from Single Page in Divi Builder WordPress

If you’re using the Divi theme and want to remove the header or footer (or both) on a particular page, the process isn’t always obvious—especially if you primarily work in the Visual Builder. Below is a straightforward method using the WordPress “Template” settings to achieve a clean, headerless and footerless layout for a specific page.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Go to Your WordPress Dashboard
    • Sign in to your WordPress admin panel at yourwebsite.com/wp-admin.
  2. Open the “Pages” Section
    • In the left-hand menu, click on Pages.
    • Select All Pages to view the list of existing pages on your site.
  3. Edit the Desired Page
    • Locate the page for which you want to remove the header and footer.
    • Hover over its title and click Edit (not Edit with Divi, just the standard WordPress editor).
  4. Find Template Settings
    • In the right-hand sidebar, look for the Page Attributes box.
    • Under Template, you’ll see a dropdown menu.
  5. Select “Blank Page”
    • From the Template dropdown, choose Blank Page (or a similarly named no-header/no-footer template, if your theme has one).
    • Click on Update to save your changes.
  6. Verify Your Changes
    • View or preview the page to confirm the header and footer are gone.
    • You should now see a completely blank canvas, without the Divi header or footer sections.

Why Use the “Blank Page” Template?

  • Eliminates Distractions: A blank template is ideal for creating landing pages, opt-in pages, or unique layouts that don’t require navigation.
  • Speeds Up Design: Removing the standard header and footer allows a full-width, uninterrupted design for specialized content.
  • Simplifies Workflow: No code editing or CSS overrides are necessary—just select the blank page template from your WordPress settings.

Troubleshooting

  • Not Seeing a Blank Template?
    • Ensure you’re using the Divi theme. If you’re using a child theme or a different page builder, confirm that a no-header/no-footer template exists.
  • Visual Builder vs. Classic Editor
    • The Visual Builder doesn’t control header/footer settings. You must switch to the WordPress editor or page settings panel.
  • Clearing Cache
    • If updates don’t appear immediately, try clearing your cache or refresh in an incognito window.

Conclusion

Removing the header and footer on specific pages in Divi is as simple as selecting a dedicated Blank Page template in your WordPress Page Attributes settings. This method is quick, doesn’t require custom CSS, and offers a clean slate for creating specialized layouts such as landing pages, sales funnels, or custom designs without any top or bottom navigation.
