Transparent Header for HFB

From Astra Theme Version 1.6.0, the Transparent Header option will be available with a free Astra Theme. Prior to this version, the Transparent Header option was available with the Astra Pro Addon plugin.

How does Transparent Header work?

A transparent Header allows you to easily create beautiful and attractive headers. Enabling this option will set your primary header background to transparent and pull the page content to the top. It will merge the primary header and the page’s content. That means your top part of the page content will be set as a background to the transparent header.
