custom page template 2 columns

Hi there, making a custom page template with 2 columns involves several steps, and is suited to those with a bit of PHP/HTML/CSS knowledge.

1. You’ll need to make a child theme so your changes won’t be overwritten when you update the theme. If you’re new to child themes, you can explore these guides:

Keeping your theme up-to-date is strongly recommended to ensure you get bug fixes, security updates, and updates to keep the theme compatible with WordPress core.

2. You’ll need to create a custom page template in your child theme. You’ll find a guide to that in the theme handbook:

3. You’ll need to add the proper HTML markup in the template file, and accompanying CSS in the child theme’s stylesheet, to output your two-column layout as you want it to be displayed.

I hope this points you in the right direction. Let me know how it goes.

Sounds reasonable. The two columns on you homepage look good, and are even responsive – nicely done. 🙂

I’m marking this as resolved.
