Creativity includes page templates that change the layout of individual pages. When editing a page, choose one from the Template dropdown in the Page Attributes box.
Home
A front page made of sections: Header, Portfolio, and Blog. You turn each one on and edit it in Appearance → Customize → Home Section.
The Home template, and the portfolio items it shows, come from the Backdrop Custom Portfolio plugin. Install and activate that plugin first, or the Home template won’t appear in the list.
To use it as your home page:
- Create a new page, for example “Home”, and set its template to Home.
- Go to Settings → Reading and set Your homepage displays to A static page, then choose that page.
- Go to Appearance → Customize → Home Section and enable the sections you want.
Left Sidebar and Right Sidebar
These place the sidebar on the left or right of a single page, whatever the global layout is.
Custom Sidebar
Shows the Custom widget area beside the page. It’s useful for a contact or landing page that needs its own widgets.
Which widget area appears where
| Widget area | Where it appears |
|---|---|
| Primary | Posts, archives, and the 404 page |
| Secondary | Pages, including the Left Sidebar and Right Sidebar templates |
| Portfolio | Single portfolio items |
| Custom | Pages using the Custom Sidebar template |
