Hi all - When I create a page, the ‘template’ option is greyed out and I can’t click the box. I created a new template in the sites > templates folder but it didn’t make a difference. What am I doing wrong? Many thanks!

The parent page setting does not allow creating pages with another blueprint. If you refer to a page on the first level, you have to change site.yml.

Right - thanks. So what is the best way to add a page that you don’t really need to edit in the panel and that has a unique layout?

You could hide it from the panel using the hide: true option in the page’s blueprint. As an alternative, you can make it read-only using permissions.

Thanks - perhaps this is off topic but if I simply just create a page in the panel, which generates its own folder in the content directory, how do I assign a template to it in the templates directory?

No no no, I didn’t say it creates a blueprint, I said if you select a blueprint/template on page creation, the file gets the same filename as the blueprint. There is a team.yml because this blueprint is used to create the team members which are subpages of the about page. There is no team.php templ…

I found out what the issue was - when I create a page in the panel, the .txt file it creates in the content folder is by default called ‘default.txt’. not sure why it would do that but thats solved it at least!

As I explained above, that is because of the site.yml blueprint: title: Site pages: default It only allows you to create first level pages with the default.yml blueprint (with the title “Page”). If you change that setting to title: Site pages: true you will be able to select any blueprint and …
