New Localist Extended Header
We’ve rolled out a brand new, “Extended” header layout! This new option gives you more flexibility to add custom links and dropdown menus to your calendar’s header. Theme Developers can now easily manage header links, reorder them, and create dropdowns for a more engaging and informative user experience with your Localist calendar.
You can enable the new Extended header option under Theme Settings in Admin.
Extended header adds a secondary header, creating space for your links in the top bar.
