Is it possible to use multiple cloud templates for products in a WooCommerce shop? I have created 2 cloud templates for Woo products, but so far I can only apply the global template. I’m trying to change templates for a certain product category in the shop. is that possible?

Hello @dita999 !

Yes. You can access the product and assign the template you want just clicking on the product: https://prnt.sc/8zMEaivyS8M- without having a global one(one for all products).
It is the same for the product category also.

Thank you!

So just uncheck “Global” in cloud templates, then choose the template for each product (new and existing)?

Hello @dita999 !

Yes. Also, you can make it global for some of them, and if you need to change one, you need to access it and assign a different template.

Thank you!

Hi Bettina,

I am not able to get this to work. I published the new template, and I am able to change the template when I preview the page:

choose template

I choose the non-global template, and the page reloads to the new template. But if I close and reload the page the global template always comes back.

The product I’m testing this on is a draft. Does it have to be live for the template change to stick?

Hello @dita999 !

When a template is assigned, it should look like this in green: https://prnt.sc/LhxgWgwiNKU5
Please click on the template once in order to assign it to that page.

Thank you!

Hi Bettina,

That’s what I have been doing, but the template always reverts to the global when I reopen the page.

I just tried it again and the new template name turned green when it was applied to the page:
New template assigned, link is green

Everything looked good. Then I closed the tab, clicked the preview button again (without refreshing or editing the back end), and now the global template is applied and the new template’s name is black again:
Global template applied, new template link is black again

I can apply a new template but it doesn’t stay applied for some reason. Am I missing a step?

Hello @dita999 !

Make a test and deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv ones, also if you are using a cache plugin, deactivate it, clear all cache and try again.
Examine some other potential interfering factors: https://forum.tagdiv.com/general-options-may-interfere-newspaper-theme/

Let me know the results!

Thank you!

I have Yoast & the author archives are on. Clearing the cache seems to have worked—both the cache plug-in and Cloudflare. Thank you so much!
