How can I create template from a theme?

Recommended Posts

Is there anyway to create a template from a theme?

maybe if I used your base themes as my child theme to DMS theme as my parent theme.

Then I can borrow from all other themes their special sections or components perhaps, save it as a new template?

Hi there

 

Yes you can create your own child theme using sections from other themes, if you extract them and install manually into your custom child theme that will work. Any templates you make in your theme can be saved and exported as a json file that you can then load with the child theme.


Kindly search the forum and read the documentation before posting. It will help you resolve many issues.

For CSS help be sure to check out W3Schools first and be sure to download FireBug for FireFox for troubleshooting.

      I haven't figured out how to get the "Sync Loaded Item" option in templates menu of Platform 5 to stay checked. It doesn't give me an option to save settings when I select it, and when I select it then click off the editor, it unselects. Also if I select it before loading a template, it doesn't stay checked there either.  Whats going on?

      Hi,
      I created a Pagelines template for a "Post type" post. Whenever creating a new post page it firstly display that template post and I have to manually change it in the scope from "All of type posts " to "Current page". 
      Is there a way to fix that?

      I'm building a website in a dev environment at http://162.144.182.17/~uescocra.
      I want to import a bunch of products, and then have the products have a different template than the default template. 
      I also want to change the default template for blog posts.
      Before I go making changes, can I do this where the post type of "products" has its own global template, and the same with blog posts?
      For instance, in a product I might want to have a widget for categories, similar products, etc., and in the blog I may want list of the latest posts, blog categories, link to an email sign-up landing page, etc.
      Thanks.

      Is there a shortcode or a way to automatically pull the site name into the footer or elsewhere?
