Custom Post Template from Default Theme

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi – I’d like to change my default post template. I’m currently using Style 7 from the theme panel. I started trying to use the cloud templates but way too many errors and confusing – esp with fonts – they never work. Can I import Style 7 as a start to the cloud library and make adjustments from there?

Also, when making changes, how can we use a sample post as a test? The way I’ve been doing it, is actually changing a live post to the new template, so I can see how it looks because the composer is blank. Is there a better way to see what the template will look like with my actual content?

Hello!

You can not edit a default template with TagDiv Composer plugin.
Check the differences here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-default-templates/
If you want to try CPT, then you can take a look here:

There is no way to test a demo/template with your content, only the way you did it.

Thank you!

Thank you. So here’s what I’d like to do:

Keep default post template #7 – I want to keep the header image, the fonts, etc.

but I want to widen the margins. So they are more like https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_influencer/2019/02/15/td-post-she-built-her-profile-into-a-growing-empire/

I just want to increase the space for my content. As simply as possible.

Please type out step by step instructions for the easiest way to widen the margins of the content and sidebar without having to change 30 other things back to what they are now. Thank you!

Hello!

From the theme panel settings you are not able to set the width of the content or set up some custom margins. All these settings are available in TagDiv Composer plugin which is compatible only with a cloud/PRO template.

Thank you!

here’s what I’d like to do:

Keep default post template #7 – I want to keep the header image, the fonts, etc. Almost everything about this template.

but I want to widen the margins. So they are more like https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_influencer/2019/02/15/td-post-she-built-her-profile-into-a-growing-empire/

Please type out step by step instructions for the easiest way to widen the margins of the content and sidebar without having to change 30 other things back to what they are now with template 7. Thank you!

Hello!

You are not able to modify the style of a default template like I explained above.

Thank you!

Hi so how CAN I get the template I am asking for. As I’ve now asked 3x.

Hello!

Edit the page with TagDiv Composer, then click the row of the element, and set up also the row like stretch row, check this screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/hyifvDejBc3W
It should be working.
Please note that you need to use a cloud/PRO template to have this feature.

Thank you!

Wow – pulling teeth much?

Which “cloud/PRO” templates look just like #7 but with wider margins? Meeting all the requirements I laid out above – where I won’t have to add anything, change the font (because it will pull from the default), keep the H1 where it is, the categories, etc etc, etc. The only change I want to make is wider margins.

Please specify the templates you recommend to start with.

Hello!

Unfortunately, there is no other cloud template which looks like the default one.

Thank you!

So what suggestions do you have? How can you help? How can you add value?

Hello!

You should build your own template if you don’t like our demos how I described above with stretch row and all other settings which has the default one and also the settings which suits you the best.

Unfortunately, this will require custom work which is not covered by the support team.

Thank you for understanding!

What a waste of time. You can’t even suggest a template to start with. This was totally useless.
