How to manage the site’s templates

WordPress uses templates to create the layout and structure for specific page types on your site. The Site Editor displays the template choices that you can add to your site and lets you create custom templates using the Template Editor.

From the Appearance > Editor, you will be shown a view that includes a sidebar with your list of templates and template parts. You can select any template you like from that list or click the “Manage all templates” to see them listed in a different view, where you can reset customizations, and rename or delete custom templates.

If you’re editing a template and want to return to that larger view, click the WordPress icon (or Site icon if you have set one) to open the Site Editor left navigation. This will open to the latest template you’re editing and you can use the icon to go back to view the rest of your templates. If you go back to the list of templates, you can either preview all of your templates from there or click Mange all templates to see a list of templates available. Included in this list are those that came bundled with your block theme and the custom ones you created from the Template Editor.

How to manage the template parts

A Template part is a block for managing the repeating global areas of the site such as a Header, Footer, Sidebar, etc. They are primarily meant to define the site structure and can be reused. You can also create custom Template Parts that can be reused through the templates.

From the Appearance > Editor, click the Template Parts option to view the list of template parts created for your theme.

  6. Save your changes.

How to update what your homepage displays

  • If your theme does not have a Home or Front page template, select the Add New button and create a new Front Page.
  • If your theme has a Front Page template, click on the link with the template name to open the editor.
