2 homepage headers
For a better mobile experience I have created 2 home page headers. One header is for the desktop and one for tablet and mobile. You can change these in the visual builder.

Installing Grow Extended Child Theme
Requirements
Before we begin, make sure you have Divi installed on WordPress before installing this child theme. Do this on a fresh WordPress installation.
Important: Only install the Divi theme, not the Divi builder (the Divi theme includes the Divi builder if you install both then this can cause conflicts).
The Divi theme is not included in this package. To download Divi, you must have an Elegant Themes Membership.
The page links from buttons and logo are removed, so you need to relink those to the right pages.
Step 1
Download and unzip the ‘Grow_Extended_Child_Theme_UNPACKME.zip’ file to your computer.
If you purchased from Elegant Themes Marketplace you have 2 files grow pro.zip and JSON Files.zip.
Only unpack the JSON Files.zip file.
Step 2
In your WordPress dashboard navigate to Appearance > Themes and click on Add New.
Locate the grow-pro.zip file in the Grow_Pro_Child_Theme_UNPACKME folder on your computer and then click Install Now.
When the install is complete click on ‘Activate’, you will then see the Grow Pro Child Theme as the active theme in your theme panel.
Step 3
Go to Divi > Theme Options. Click on the import/export options (up/down arrow).
Click on Import and upload Grow Pro Theme Options.json.
Go to Divi > Theme Builder. Click on the import/export options.
Click on Import and upload Grow Pro Builder Templates.json.
Go to Divi > Theme Customizer. Click on the import/export options (up/down arrow).
Click on Import and upload Grow Pro Customizer Settings.json.
Go to Divi > Divi Library. Click on the import/export options.
Click on Import and upload Grow Pro Builder Layouts.json.
Step 4
Go to Pages > Add New. Give your page a name for example Home.
In the Divi Builder Click on Load Layout then click on Your Saved Layouts.
Here you will find all the pages from the demo. Load the Home page Grow extended and publish it.
To add the other pages as in the demo you do the same steps as above. Create a new page for example About us. Then you go Load Layout then click on Your Saved Layouts and pick the page layout you want to use.
Step 5
Go to Appearance > Menus and create a menu and add your page(s) to it.
Go to Settings > Reading. Check A static page
Set Homepage: to your home page
Leave the post page unset
Add the CTA button in the navigation
Go to Appearance > Menus and add the CSS class cta_menu to the menu item that you want to appear as a button.
Note: in case you don’t see the class field then go to the right top corner and expand screen options. Then check CSS classes.
Creating a blog post
To create a blog post with the same layout as Grow Pro you do the following:
Go to Posts > Add New
Go to Load From Library > Add From Library and choose Post Grow Pro.
In the right upper right corner, you find the Divi Post Settings. Make the following adjustments:
Page Layout: Full Width
Post Title: Hide
