Override Section
Single Post-Page Overriding Settings allow you to display override settings on the single post/page editor screen, enabling you to create unique and distinct layouts for each post or page.
Note: Enabling this option may increase the size of your database, but it offers the benefit of creating unique layouts for each post or page.
To enable the Override setting on the single post’s editor screen, follow these steps:
- Post Overrides: Toggle the button ON to enable it.
- Post Override Options:
- Enable for all posts: This option enables the overriding setting for all post editor screens.
- Enable only on specific posts: This option enables the overriding settings only on specified posts (listed below in the field). You can use this option to enable the setting for specific posts where you want to create unique layouts. (This may help reduce the size of your database.)
- Select specific posts: After choosing “Enable only on specific posts,” use this field to select the specific posts where you want to enable overriding settings. Type the post title in the field and select the posts that appear in the dropdown.
- Clean Post Overrides Data: Check this field to enable it. (This action will delete all post overridden data after disabling or changing the override options above. However, it will help reduce unnecessary data in your database.)
After setting up these options, you will see the overriding options enabled in the single post/page editor, similar to the image below.
To confirm the override, check the field “Override: Are you sure to override this page settings?” This allows you to start new customization and setup for your current post’s settings and layout.
If you prefer not to use the overriding settings and keep regular settings from “Template Options,” you can un-check the field “Override: Are you sure to override this page settings?” This will prevent the overriding settings from being applied.
