Overview of Page Templates

[paaljoachim]

Hey

I took a look at the Page Attributes -> Templates and noticed a few.
It would be great if you could add some notes to the readme about each template. Name and what they do. As it would be easier to get an overview of what the theme contains.
Thanks.

Thanks - that's a good idea and I really appreciate the feedback!

On a slightly related note - what do you think of page templates now that we have Gutenberg? Are they still needed if you can add custom features to any page anyway?

I am wondering about removing some/ all of the page templates as I think their use is less relevant now. But then I am not everyone so I wonder if other people would still find them useful. What do you think?

Thanks

Hey Ben

Page templates are needed. For now anyway and likely another 6 or so months until Gutenberg has a way to save templates (kinda like saving reusable blocks). In the mean time it would be good to add page templates in the existing fashion so to speak.

If you can write a bit about the page templates you have made then I can also figure out how to test them out and give you feedback directly on those.

Thanks - that makes sense.

I've updated the readme.txt to include descriptions of the templates, and made a couple of template based changes.

Keep in mind that I haven't tested these templates yet. They probably don't work 100% - I'm still focused on getting the theme design to look right. I'll go through and fix stuff once the theme looks nice :)

Hey @paaljoachim are the changes I made ok or would you like to see something else?

Hey Ben..:)

Going through the page templates.
Content only.
Shows "A template that removes the site header and footer and displays just the page content." It also removes the background color. This seems ready to be used for a page builder like Beaver Builder or Elementor or other page builders that will control the full page.

Contributors. Shows the background color selected through the customizer.
Looks totally fine. Might be useful.

Child Page Grid. Kinda shows sub pages like a blog page shows blog posts.
Looks ok. Might be useful.

Portfolio. Not checked.

I would just leave all of them in as they are (for now anyway).
I am seeing a huge space between the header and the page title.
