Use a post template as a page template

Posted in: Newspaper

Hey everyone,

For website architecture reasons, I need to use only pages and not posts.

I don’t want to use the tagDiv Composer to define the structure and the page elements. I basically want to use the same template as Style 12 in post, but I want to use this template as a page template.

Anyone has a solution ?

Thanks for your help,

Hi,

You can use tagDiv Cloud Library https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Here is an affiliate link were you can test all you can do with cloud library -> https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/All

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Calin,

Yes I’ve seen this link but I have trouble to understand how to import precisely the “style 12 post template” as a page template. How would you proceed to success this ?

Thanks so much for your help.

Hi,

If you refer to the post template style 12 template, there are tow ways, one that is general https://www.screencast.com/t/KPN3g3d08YK , and one that is for the single post, that override the general template for that post https://forum.tagdiv.com/post-templates-2/

Thank you.

Exactly this one, but I want to be able to use this specific template as a “page template”, not for a post template.

Unfortunately I don’t see how to select this template when editing my page…

To make it more clear, I want to use the layout of the “post template style 12” and use the same layout as PAGE template (not a post)…

Hi,

You can set the template page “Pagebuilder + latest articles + pagination” and set to post loop settings and layout M14

See results: https://www.screencast.com/t/4zXdCiAf

Category templates -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/category-templates/

If you are using TagDiv Composer and tagDiv Cloud Library you can edit the template how you like.

Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks Calin for taking the time to answer me again.

I understand the logic but unfortunately it does not do what I need. As I don’t need the latest articles and pagination… I just need exactly the layout of the style 12 post.

Here is what I really need with screenshot :
> the post style 12 template I want to use : https://www.fotor.com/share/581db31a-436d-43a6-82eb-7b4650368c1c
> the page I want to use it in : https://www.fotor.com/share/9c3dfc79-f491-415d-8c94-04551f4fac7e

Sorry if it was not clear before,

Thanks again for taking time to solve this issue.

Hi,

Unfortunately the layout of post can’t be set for pages, if this is what you want, only if you make a temple after the post template.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you for your understanding.

Alright it makes sense now. And how would you advice to build this layout as easy as possible ? Through Cloud template or through the tag composer ?

Thanks a lot,

Because I try to create a new layout for a new template page (not post). After importing and customizing a template, everything is OK except I can only use it for a post (not a page).

But I read that “With the tagDiv composer you can build pages…” so I don’t understand how to build a page layout with tagdiv composer for PAGE (not post) …. sorry for not understanding 🙂

Thanks a lot

Hi,

This is the template for page ( https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/ ), and the rest of it is the layout that you can make with tagDiv Composer.
Here you have some documentation about tagDiv Composer tutorial -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/

Unfortunately, you can’t make blank pages and after that set om them the layout, the page need to be build individual.

Thank you.

Hi Calin,

Alright now I understand better. It is not possible to create a specific template / modele for a page (only available for posts, categories etc..)

Thanks for your help.
