Today is about how to add templates to WordPress themes. Now while this video is about sales themes, in particular sales templates by Jason Keith, this video would be the same with any template.
What is the difference between a theme and a template?
Your theme may have templates included. Many WordPress themes include an “archive template” and the template is different from the standard theme used on most pages. You can see if you have a template by reading Creating Sales Letters in WordPress. The theme on 365 Online Tips has different templates, the theme here has a separate box that allows me to turn features on and off. Yet templates offered the look I wanted for my sales letters.
Where do I install it?
The video below will show you but, it may be hard to catch it. You want to visit your File manager in your cpanel. Then public_html. Find the website you want to add the templates to, then look for wp_content. Open your themes and find the theme you are currently using. Open the theme upload your templates there. Then find the templates you want to use and pull the contents, all of them, from the folder and put them into your theme.
And now time for your video!!
Hope you enjoy and hope it helps!
