Lets add some extra text to the top header in DIVI. DIVI allows you add the phone number and Email using the theme customizer options in the top header. The Top header in DIVI is the one which sits above the primary menu bar. The secondary menu also shows up inside the top header. The image below shows the primary menu, secondary menu and the top header.
There is also an option for displaying your social media icons in the customizer. When the option to Show social media is checked in the header element in the DIVI Theme Customizer, the social icons also get displayed on the top header too.
Prepend Text to the Top Header using jQuery
For this example I am going to add “Best DIVI Freelancer for your website!”. To do this we have to add a little bit of jQuery.
To add the jQuery, go to DIVI- Theme Options – Integration Tab and look for “Add code to the < head > of your blog” as shown below. Add the following jQuery in that box.
[sourcecode language=”javascript”]
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($){
if (!$(‘#et-info’).length) {
$(‘#top-header .container’).prepend(‘<div id="et-info"></div>’);
}
$(‘#et-info’).prepend(‘<span style="margin:0 10px">Best DIVI Freelancer for your website!</span>’);
});
</script>
[/sourcecode]
This will show your extra text on the top header, before the phone number as shown below.
Lets Make this Text Clickable
Sometime you want the text to be clickable, if you were linking it to another page like a contact page. If you want to make the new text that you added Clickable then add the following jQuery. This will create an anchor link for your new extra text.
[sourcecode language=”javascript”]
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($){
if (!$(‘#et-info’).length) {
$(‘#top-header .container’).prepend(‘<div id="et-info"></div>’);
}
$(‘#et-info’).prepend(‘<span style="margin:0 10px"><a href="https://wpportfolio.com/contact-divi-freelancer/"> Best DIVI Freelancer for your website! </a></span>’);
});</script>
[/sourcecode]

This code no longer works.
Hi Alan,
I think there was an issue with the way the quotes were displaying on this blog. I have corrected it now. Copy the code and it should work. This will only work when you are using the old DIVI theme customizer for your headers. This code will not work if you are using the new DIVI Theme Builder. Let me know if this works for you. I just tested it and fixed the formatting of the quotes. I think for some reason they became inverted quotes. Thanks for pointing this out. -Girish
