Add theme support

Most themes support Archive, Singular, and 404 layout types out of the box. However, to support the Header, Footer, and Part layout types, the theme must allow its header, footer, and parts to be removed using hooks. If your theme isn’t currently supported, you can add support for headers, footers, and parts by following the instructions in the custom fields section.

​
Add custom field connections

You can use the Beaver Themer APIs to add custom connections to the field connections menu in order to connect any kind of data you want. See the Custom fields article for detailed instructions.

​
Add theme support for headers and footers

There are other ways than using hooks to remove the theme’s headers and footers, but using hooks is the easiest and cleanest. For example, in Genesis you can remove the header with the following code: 
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_do_header' );
See the Custom fields article for complete implementation details.
