While our theme provides a powerful Customizer to set global defaults for your website, there will often be times when you need a specific page or post to look different from the rest.
To solve this, the theme includes the Theme Page Options metabox. This allows you to override your global Customizer settings on a per-page or per-post basis directly from the WordPress editor.
Where to Find the Theme Page Options
When you are creating or editing a Page or Post in WordPress:
- Look below the main text editor area (or in the sidebar if you are using the Block Editor/Gutenberg and have it pinned there).
- You will see a panel labeled Theme Page Options.
- If you don’t see it, ensure it is enabled in your WordPress Screen Options (or Options menu in the Block Editor).
1. Sidebar Override
This setting allows you to change the sidebar position for the specific page you are editing, ignoring the global default set in the Customizer.
- Default (from Customizer): Inherits the global setting.
- No Sidebar: Forces the page to be full-width with no sidebar.
- Left Sidebar: Forces the sidebar to the left of the content.
- Right Sidebar: Forces the sidebar to the right of the content.
2. Content Layout Override
This setting controls the structural container of the specific page.
- Default (from Customizer): Inherits the global layout setting.
- Full Width: Contained: The background stretches edge-to-edge, but the text/content is constrained to a central column for readability.
- Full Width: Stretched: Both the background and the content stretch edge-to-edge across the screen. This is ideal when building pages with page builders like Elementor.
- Boxed Content: The content area is wrapped in a distinct box, usually sitting on a slightly darker background.
- Boxed: The entire website layout (header, content, footer) is boxed in a central column.
3. Transparent Header Override
A transparent header is when your main navigation bar has no background color and sits directly on top of your hero image or page content.
- Default (from Customizer): Inherits the global transparent header setting.
- Enable: Forces the header to be transparent on this specific page (great for landing pages).
- Disable: Forces a solid header on this specific page, even if the transparent header is enabled globally.
4. Disable Specific Page Sections
Sometimes you need to build a specialized page (like a sales landing page or a coming soon page) where you want to remove standard website elements to keep the user focused.
The Theme Page Options provides a series of checkboxes that allow you to quickly hide elements just for the page you are editing:
- Disable Top Bar (Only visible if the Top Bar is enabled globally)
- Disable Main Header: Hides the logo and navigation menu entirely.
- Disable Page Title: Removes the title banner at the top of the page.
- Disable Breadcrumbs: Hides the breadcrumb navigation trail.
- Disable Featured Image: Prevents the featured image from displaying automatically at the top of the post/page content.
- Disable Pre Footer CTA: Hides the call-to-action section above the footer.
- Disable Main Footer: Hides the widgetized footer area.
- Disable Copyright Bar: Hides the bottom copyright text strip.
By checking these boxes, you can easily strip a page down to just its core content, making it incredibly easy to create custom landing pages without writing any code!
