    How can I build a custom page template (such as Default Template, Archives, Black – No header, no footer)?

    I currently have 4 pages reviewing affiliate products. I will be scaling this up to 50 products.
    I desire to be able to use a Page Template so I can make universal changes to the layout of these Review Pages.
    I desire to be able to use the Advanced Layout Builder in remodeling my Page Template.

    Is this possible? Thanks for any help or guidance, LOVE the Enfold theme!

    Is there a way to use the ALB to to create a Custom Page Template?

    The link below is actually very close to what I am looking for, except that I wish to use a template for the layout, and populate that template with data from my custom fields. My goal is that I can some day update the template, and have all 50 Review pages reflect that change in their layout.

    1) I’m guessing that this would take some PHP work to accomplish, and that I will need to create something like Reviews.php?? I’m not a coder (I wish I was!), I’m just very hands-on and don’t have the money to hire one right now so navigating these (incredibly useful) forums has been a full time job

    2) Last Question, how can I incorporate the code I would add to meta.php (as seen in the linked video, to show the ALB and SideBar) into my Child Theme?

    Hi!

    1. We have a template feature where you can save the content in the ALB of a page and then automatically insert it into other pages. This is just to make copying content easier and if you need to have custom fields display there then I’m not sure what the best way to go about that would be. Perhaps a plugin with a shortcode or you could try typing out your PHP yourself in a codeblock and then use a plugin such as PHPExec, https://wordpress.org/plugins/exec-php/.

    2. I’m not sure I understand. Are you trying to get the ALB and sidebar options to display in a custom post type? If so then see here, https://kriesi.at/support/topic/solution-to-lack-of-multiple-portfolios/.

    Best regards,
    Elliott
