Page template and configuration options

In this article we will take a look at the available post and page templates and go through the rest of the provided post/page configuration options.

Page configuration

Configuration takes place in the Page tab on the right hand sidebar when editing a post or page.

The Summary metabox houses the available template options these override the layout selected in the Customizer. These are:

  • Default template: When this template is selected the item gets a content/sidebar layout, or whatever is set under Site Options > Layout in the Customizer.
  • Content / Sidebar: Items with this template will always display the content on the left and the sidebar on the right.
  • Sidebar / Content: Items with this template will always display the sidebar on the left and the content on the right.
  • Canvas: This is a completely blank (no header, menu or footer) template to be used with page builders and full site editors.
  • Full width: The content area on items with this template will span from one edge of the screen to the other. No sidebar is available on this template.
  • Full width boxed: The content area on items with this template will span the entire content width as set under Site Options > Layout in the Customizer. No sidebar is available on this template.
  • Full width narrow: Like the full width boxed template, but the content is a bit narrower. No sidebar is available on this template.

The Excerpt metabox can be used to display a custom subtitle on the Page Title section on pages (area just below the logo/menu – example).

Page settings

Using the Page Settings metabox, users can fine tune the appearance of individual pages. Many of these options will override ones set in the respective sections in the Customizer, allowing users to create unique page appearance for each item. Options are either disabled by default or set to respect global values set in the Customizer. Let’s take a closer look at the options.
