You can have different headers on different pages. see Page Attributes on the page you're editing and look at the Template pulldown. I'm not sure you can have different Navigation Menus on different Templates though. I didn't pursue it any further because I found a different approach.
I don't know if it's a limitation of WordPress or of the Salient theme. My guess is it's a limitation of WordPress, but I can't say that nobody has a solution or workaround to this as I stopped looking for one.
Also, the problem I was having was a different (seemingly more difficult) one: I wanted a different Navigation Menu on different Fullscreen Rows - e.g., different rows on the SAME page.
If you go to Appearance/Menus/Manage Locations, it says "Your theme supports 3 menus", implying that a theme could theoretically support more menus? But, I don't know if more menus could mean two different Top Navigation Menus that you applied to two different Templates. I don't really use templates except to turn off the header on my non-fullscreen-row pages by setting the Template to "No Header" on those pages.
One other workaround I tried: I set up two separate WordPress installations - e.g., with different domains - and set them up with different Top Navigation Menus. It worked perfectly!! But it was a shade too janky - it just didn't quite feel like one site.
This is not possible with the theme, you'd have to use a 3rd party plugin to achieve this. Try using this plugin or something similar to add this feature https://wordpress.org/plugins/conditional-menus/.
Is it possible to have unique headers for two pages on my site?
Seems like it's about using metaboxes, but I can't figure it out from the documentation and can't find a youtube video about it.
Thanks!
Hey David,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Here's our documentation on how you can use page header metaboxes to set this up https://themenectar.com/docs/salient/page-metaboxes/.
I hope that helps.
Kind regards,
David, did you find a solution? I am also trying to use different headers on different pages using Salient. Let me know. Thank you.

Good luck with your quest!!
