created a new page type but can not find it under themes on the server
Permalink
I created a new page type and gave it a name. I expected to see it out on the server so I could tweak it and I can not find it anywhere. What do I not understand about this? Are the new page type only stored in the database? I just do not understand how to deal with wanting to create a new page type to use. Can I create one of my pages with specific blocks and then so I can reuse that page save it as a page type? That would be the best.
If you want to create a new page type, with it's own layout (css styles and areas) you need to create a new PHP file and upload to your themes directory.
After the file has been uploaded you need to install the page type from 'www.yourdomain.com/index.php/dashboard/pages/themes/' where you need to click on 'Inspect' on the theme you have have uploaded the new page type to. The rest is self explanatory.
Once the page type has been installed you can add defaults (=blocks to be used on all pages using that page type) by going to 'www.yourdomain.com/index.php/dashboard/pages/types/'.
