4. Page Templates and Pages

Dottoro theme comes with some page templates that help you in creating pages most commonly used on a website. There are page templates for displaying a list of posts (Blog, News, Portfolio, Imagefolio), others for displaying special pages (Contact, Authors, Archives, Bookmarks and Sitemap) and the universal Default page template that give you full control over the content of a page.

Besides page templates, the theme provides several options that allow you to change look and feel of your pages. Some of them are available for every page regardless of its template (General Page settings and Gallery settings) and there are many page template specific options also. For instance, the header and subheader options are supported for every page regardless of its template and allow you to select a header and subheader for the page. Furthermore, you can set the position of the sidebar for every page regardless of its template.

Moreover, it is also possible to set the default settings for pages. So you don't have to change the same things every time when you create a new page. And to make this system more flexible, you also have the ability to apply default settings to only for certain pages, for instance, pages from the same author.

4.1 Default Page Settings

In the Dottoro theme, you can set default settings for pages under Pages » Page Settings. You can set the header and subheader you want to display on the top of your pages, the position of the sidebar, select widget areas for the sidebar and the footer and much more. Moreover, selectors allow you to specify default settings only for certain pages, for instance, pages from the same author (more on selectors).

With the help of default settings you can avoid setting the same things every time when you create a new page and if you want to change a setting for all pages, you only need to change it in one place. And of course, all default settings can be overridden for each individual page.

Page Settings
Header	Here you can select a header for pages. The "Default" means that this value will be taken from the Header option under Theme Options » General » Header. The items (site logo, title and description, primary navigation and Header widget area) are positioned absolutely in the "Standard" header that enables you to set their positions in the theme editor. For further details, please see the Header Customization section.
Subheader	Allows selecting a subheader to be displayed on pages. Read more in the Subheaders section.
Show Page Title	Set whether to display the page title in the content or not.
Show Breadcrumb	Select whether the breadcrumb should be displayed on pages or not. The "default" value means that this value will be taken from "Theme Options" > General > Breadcrumb. For further details, please see the Breadcrumb section.
Gallery Popup	Select a gallery popup for pages. The "default" value means that this value will be taken from "Theme Options" > General > Gallery Settings. For details, please see the Gallery Popup option under Theme Options » General.
Sidebar Position	Set the position of the sidebar or remove the sidebar on pages. The 'default' value means that the sidebar position is determined by the skin settings of the theme.

4.2 Page Templates

Default Template
This template gives you full control over the contents of the page. Shortcodes and widgets are great help to easily create even complex contents. To create a custom Front page it can be practical to opt for the Default Template.
Blog, News and Portfolio/Imagefolio templates
With these templates you can create pages for displaying a list of blog, news and portfolio posts. The theme offers a number of setting options for them, such as Posts per page, Number of posts in a row, AJAX Pagination, Category filtering and much more. For further details, please read the next section.

Mind you, Imagefolio pages are special portfolio pages. An Imagefolio page displays a list of portfolio posts as a Portfolio page does, but an Imagefolio page looks different than a Portfolio page. Furthermore, Portfolio pages give you more options than Imagefolio pages.
Contact template
With this template you can create a contact page. A contact page displays a contact form at the bottom of the page below the other content.

Tip: if you wish to create a contact page with a custom layout, choose the Default Template and place a Contact form widget in a widget area that you can insert with a [widget_area] shortcode anywhere on your page, or simply use the [contact_form_widget] shortcode.

4.3 Pages created from page templates

The first thing you should do when you create a new page is to select its page template on the right and click Publish/Update or Save Draft.

After saving it, you will find the setting options provided by the Dottoro theme below the WordPress content editor. Some of the options are available for every page regardless of its template (General Page settings and Gallery settings) and there are many page template specific options also. They will be detailed in the following sections.

4.3.1 General page settings

These settings are available for every page, regardless of its template.

General Page Settings
Ghost Page	There are cases when we need unclickable menu items that have submenus. Similar to this, you may need unclickable items in the page hierarchy displayed by breadcrumbs. Ghost pages provide a solution to this issue. With them, you can create pages invisible to the visitors that you can use to create menu items and that can also be set as parents of pages.
Body CSS Class	Space separated list of CSS classes to add to the BODY class attribute on the page. This option allows you to style the page individually. Additionally, since selectors allow you to target pages according to their attributes, such as CSS class, this option is also useful to apply individual settings to the page. For instance, you can select different headers for pages according to their Body CSS Class (more on selectors).
Post CSS Class	Space separated list of CSS classes to add to the class attribute of the HTML element that holds the page content. You can use this option to apply individual styles to the page in listings, slideshows and on the single page as well. On the single page, the holder element is always an article element. In slideshows and listings if the post template used for displaying the page contains a [post_article] shortcode and the "add_post_classes" attribute of the post_article shortcode is set to true, then the CSS classes will be added to the HTML article element. Otherwise, the CSS classes will be added to the HTML wrapper element of the list item/slide that contains the page. Additionally, since selectors allow you to target pages according to their attributes, such as CSS class, this option is also useful to apply individual settings to the page in slideshows and listings. For instance, you can select different post templates for pages according to their CSS class in a slideshow or listing (more on selectors).
Header	Select a header for the page. The "Default" means that this value will be taken from "Page Settings". The items (site logo, title and description, primary navigation and Header widget area) are positioned absolutely in the "Standard" header that enables you to set their positions in the theme editor. For further details, please see the Header Customization section.
