How is “replace template” feature set in 2024 theme?

Hi @tdchen – those additional templates that can be switched/replaced are provided in the theme itself. You can find them directly if you go to the Site Editor (appearance > editor) and then going to Templates > Pages.

Thank you jordesign.

At the “Templates > Pages” position, there is only one template, not four.

You can edit the “Blog home” template, and take the “replace template” action from the setting panel.

You will see four templates that I can’t find where it come from.

And this feature is mentioned at the document of 2024 theme.

Hi @tdchen could you please take a look at Patterns > Pages instead?

Yes, jordesign.

There are 8 page patterns there including the 4s that are main parts of the 4 replace templates.

But I can’t understand that these are patterns not templates, and where the 4s were assigned to “replace templates”?

Thank you.

Hi @tdchen – the reason they show up for in the ‘replace template’ flow is to do with the way those patterns are set up with the theme. It’s not something that can be done within the Site Editor – but rather is done in the development of the theme.

Thank you jordesign.

Did you mean “the way those patterns are set up with the theme” is not mentioned in any documentation?

Hi @tdchen – just to mean that is something set up by the developer of the theme – but not something that can really be added to in the Site Editor itself.

Tnank you, jordesign.
