For creating layouts for Homepage, is it best to Create New Page and then edit layout via Tagdiv Composer or to go to the Cloud Templates > Homepage Templates and design Homepage that way?

Same question for Single Post Layout, Categories, Author – etc.

Also. – to go along with that –

How do you set a featured image for the Homepage? Per individual Category page? For Individual Author page?

Hi,

For pages, you cannot create templates the same way you can for categories, articles, authors, or tags. You can create a page and, if you like its layout, duplicate it and edit the copy but full template creation for pages is not supported.

Regarding the process you mentioned, both methods achieve the same result; they just come from different places in the interface. You can use either method. However, creating cloud templates directly in the Cloud Library helps you clearly see all your templates in one place and easily identify which ones are set as global.

So full page template is not supported, yet in cloud templates there is a page section?

Hi Chris Baird,

I think there is a misunderstanding about how the Cloud section for pages is interpreted within the Cloud Templates system. From that section, you can import pages already created with tagDiv Composer, edit them, or duplicate them. However, there is no option to set a page as a global template, unlike other cloud templates.

This is because pages are not meant to be used globally each page can have its own unique design. If you need multiple pages to look the same, you can simply create one page and then duplicate it.

Thank you!
