    Hi! These forums have been super helpful for a beginner like myself. I’m still struggling to set up a basic site but am determined to get through it ??

    Can I use a Blog Home for a template on multiple pages. Currently, the “News” links has the Blog Home used as a template but I want to also have that template for “Golf Courses”, “Travel” and “Products”. I’m using Categories to create the navigation menu.

    If someone can let me know if this is possible and how I would go about doing it I would appreciate it!!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @jroliver6! I see that you’re using the Hevor theme, but could you please share whether your theme is using the new Site Editor (FSE) or the Customizer instead? If you need any assistance with that, just write!

    Welcome to WordPress, by the way!

    To use the template of the Blog-Homepage on all the other so-called Archives using a Site Editor-enabled theme, do the following:

    1. Open the Site Editor by using the Admin Bar
    2. Open the Templates menu (typically /wp-admin/site-editor.php?path=%2Fwp_template)
    3. Locate both the “Blog-Homepage” and “All Archives” entries in the templates-lists.
    4. Open the “Blog-Homepage” template and click into the preview to use Gutenberg. Copy the necessary elements using the context menus (to locate the elements I suggest using the list view – just press the three lines in the top bar).
    5. Next, open the “All Archives” template, delete the existing contents (keep Header & Footer I guess) and paste the template-parts you copied previously.

    In case you only want that layout on the “Golf Courses” “Travel” and “Products” sites, click “+” on the templates page in the Site Editor and create new templates just for these categories.

    If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!

    Cheers!
