Hi, I’m experiencing an issue with the subpage builder. When adding a new page to the main site directory (Dashboard → Add Page) I get the following error: `scandir(/Users/myuser/path/to/website/content/testing-sup-page-builder): failed to open dir: No such file or directory` my **site.yml** looks like this: ``` title: Site fields: title: label: Site Title type: text ``` my **default.yml** looks like this: ``` title: Default Page Template pages: build: - title: Gallery uid: gallery template: default num: 1 - title: Info uid: info num: 2 template: default fields: title: label: Title type: text text: label: Text type: textarea ``` Any ideas why it’s giving an error? I have a clean install of Kirby 2.5.5 that I stripped down to the essentials. best, r ---

Apart from the fact that your indentation is not correct, it looks like you run into an endless loop if you have the builder create pages with the same default template that in turn builds the same subpages and so on. ```auto title: Default Page Template pages: build: - title: Gallery uid: gallery template: gallery num: 1 - title: Info uid: info num: 2 template: info fields: title: label: Title type: text text: label: Text type: textarea ``` ---

Adding a new page level 1 Dashboard-\>Add Page will have always the same template. The structure I’m building is: Home Error About Name of Person 4 (template person.php) Name of Person 3 (template person.php) Name of Person 2 (template person.php) Name of Person 1 (template person.php) Basically the only allowed pages to be added on root level will be people and for each person a 2 subpages. ``` title: Person Template pages: template: - person build: - title: Person Sub Page 1 uid: gallery template: gallery num: 1 - title: Person Sub Page 2 uid: about num: 2 template: info fields: title: label: Title type: text text: label: Text type: textarea ``` ---

Still, your person blueprint does not make sense. You only allow subpages of person with template `person`, but you want to create two subpages with different templates. This bit ```auto pages: template: - person ``` should then go into your site.yml and be removed from the person.yml (edited). ---

What I’m trying to achieve is to limit the available template choice for the Dashboard Add New Page to only person.yml template. Once that page is created, Kirby to automatically create two sub pages for that page: first called Gallery and the second About. Each of the two subpages to have their own .yml templates. ---

I got that, please read again what I wrote above. site.yml ```auto title: Site pages: template: - person ``` person.yml ```auto title: Person Template pages: template: - gallery - info build: - title: Person Sub Page 1 uid: gallery template: gallery num: 1 - title: Person Sub Page 2 uid: about num: 2 template: info fields: title: label: Title type: text ``` ---

The error comes from the [Auto Publish Plugin](https://github.com/groenewege/kirby-auto-publish). After deleting it, sub pages are created normally. Thanks for the help texnixe! ---
