Page Templates in Twenty Twenty Theme

There are three templates. Default template, Cover template and Full Width template.

In the screenshots below I colored the header section green so you could see more clearly what the templates look like.

Default

This is what a page header looks like without a featured image.

Default page template

Cover

This is a cover template. The featured image displays beneath the page title. You can also apply an overlay color to the photo. And you can choose the color of the text in the Cover Template header section.

The cover template, this is ideal for the homepage

If you use a cover template on a blog post, the excerpt will display beneath the post title. Pages do not have excerpts.

Full Width

Paragraphs are wide in the full width template.

The Full Width page template

The Full Width page template looks like the default template. But the content area of the page is wider than a normal page or post. The full width page template is ideal for use with a page builder such as Beaver Builder or Elementor.

What effect do the templates have on your web pages?

The default template and cover template affect the header section of your post or page. The full width page template makes the content area of your post or page wider.

The full width template can be used with page builders such as Beaver Builder or Elementor.

How do you select a page template?

As you write a page or post…

  • select the document tab
  • scroll down to the page or post attributes section
  • if necessary, click the down arrow to reveal the settings
  • select a page template from the drop down list

I've been building websites since 1995. I usually use Genesis, GeneratePress and Beaver Builder. But Twenty Twenty theme is just so good I couldn't help myself. I had to tell you what a great theme this is in the hope you'll try it out.
