# How to Choose Your Website's Default Header and Footer

How to choose the header and footer your whole website uses, and fix a page that shows no header or the wrong one.

Your website can have more than one header and footer. The **default** ones show on every page that doesn't have its own.

## Choose the defaults

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the settings

Open the menu in the top left and go to **Headers & Footers** > **Headers**. Click **Settings** at the top.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Pick the header and footer

Choose a **Default Header** and **Default Footer**, then click **Update**.

![Spark Options with Default Header, Default Footer and Custom 404 page](https://2039430885-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fq65vhH2v4k5rpDOha9Vm%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-1aae9ba4a497260c077c665a8d953976928dc210%2Fdefault-headers-1-options.png?alt=media)
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

On the same screen, **Custom 404 page** picks the page visitors see when an address on your website doesn't exist.

To give certain pages a different header, see [How to Use a Different Header on Certain Pages](/spark-editor/spark-editor/articles-2402973-spark-header-custom-headers-and-page-level-targeting.md).

## Common Questions

<details>

<summary>A new page shows no header or footer.</summary>

On the **Pages** list, click **Actions** > **WP Settings** next to the page. Under **Page Attributes**, set **Template** to **Default Template** and click **Update**.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Some pages still show my old logo.</summary>

Those pages probably use a different header. Check every header in **Headers & Footers** > **Headers**, and change the logo in each.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Why do I have two headers?</summary>

Many websites have a see-through header that sits over a big photo, and a solid one for pages without a photo at the top. Edit both when you change your logo or menu, including their mobile settings.

</details>

<details>

<summary>My footer disappeared after I deleted one.</summary>

The deleted footer was probably the default. Pick another as the **Default Footer** and click **Update**.
