Content Blocks – Custom Single Templates

Creating a singular template.

Throughout WordPress, you will find that there are a lot of pages which you cannot fully control, as they are already controlled by the built-in templates of the chosen theme. Things such as single posts or pages can mostly have their contents modified, with all other elements controlled strictly by the theme.

With Blocksy’s Content Blocks template system, you can easily create a customised singular template using dynamic Gutenberg blocks and get that perfect design that you want.

Creating a new Singular Template

Creating a new template for singular pages couldn’t be easier. The place to go to is the Blocksy dashboard -> Content Blocks -> Add New -> Custom Template -> Single Template.

Granular Controls

The singular template comes with two replacement behaviours. You can replace just the content part of the final page, or replace the entire template, which will modify things such as the sidebar, layout and so on.

Controls for “Content Area”

Dynamic Content Preview

This one should let you preview how the card might look like on the front end. You should be able to select any of your posts to see a live preview right in the editor. No more unexpected changes!

Controls for “Full Page”

Page Structure

These options are the classic ones from the Customiser. They let you specify the page structure – be it normal width, narrow width, or with a sidebar on the left or right.

Content Area Style

Standard options to choose whether you’d like your layout to be encapsulated in a nice box.

Content Area Vertical Spacing

This option lets you separate the content from the header/footer with a simple spacer.
