FeaturesBuildTemplates & Global Blocks

Templates for every part of the site, shown exactly where you want

Design the header, the footer, the template for blog posts or any post type, archives, search results and the 404 page — then decide where each applies with display conditions: the entire site, the front page, a post type, specific pages, categories and more. Global Blocks are sections you design once and use on any page; editing the block updates every page.

  • Header, footer, single, archive, search, 404, parts and popups
  • Display conditions with include, exclude and priority
  • Global Blocks: design once, update everywhere
The templates manager: header, footer, blog post template and popups, each with where it applies

Where each template applies

Every template has conditions: include the entire site, exclude a landing page; include all posts, or only one category. When several templates match a page, the highest priority wins, then the most specific conditions — a specific page beats a category, a category beats a post type, a post type beats the entire site.

Native AI → Templates lists them all with where they apply, a switch to turn each on or off, and quick editing of conditions.

  • Conditions: entire site, front page, blog page, post types, specific pages, archives, taxonomies and more
  • Include and exclude rules
  • Priority and specificity rules you can see

Templates made of dynamic data

A blog post template uses dynamic elements — post title, meta, featured image, content, author box, share buttons, previous and next posts — and dynamic data in any text. The canvas previews the template with a real post.

Any post type can have its own template, including custom post types and their custom fields.

  • Dynamic elements for posts, archives and search
  • Preview with a real post
  • Templates for custom post types

Global Blocks

Save any section as a Global Block and place it on as many pages as you like: a promo band, a call to action, a trust bar. Edit the block once and every page updates. Global Blocks appear first in the element library.

  • Save any element as a Global Block
  • Edit once, update everywhere
  • Use Global Blocks inside mega menus

Questions about templates & Global Blocks

Can I keep my theme’s header on some pages?

Yes. A Native AI header applies where its conditions say. Settings → Templates can also limit the Native AI header and footer to chosen post types.
