Page Templates and Settings
Vantage has three settings with similar names. They all change the layout of a page, but they work in different places. Use this page to find the right one.
| Setting | Where it is | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Page Templates | The Template list in the page editor | The overall layout of one page. |
| Page Settings | The Page Settings box in the page editor | The layout, title, margins, masthead and footer widgets of one page or post. |
| Page Template Settings | AppearanceCustomizePage Template Settings | The same options for a whole type of page, for example all search results or all category archives. |
Which One Should I Use?
- To make one page full width, use a Page Template or Page Settings.
- To fine tune one page or post, use Page Settings. Set the page template to Default Template first.
- To change pages that you do not edit yourself, such as the blog page, search results, archives and the 404 page, use Page Template Settings.
The Page Settings box shows on Pages, Posts, Portfolio items (with Jetpack) and WooCommerce Products when WooCommerce is active. It does not show on the WooCommerce Shop page. Use Page Template Settings for archives instead.
To change the sidebar position for the whole site, see Sidebar.
