1: Page layout option not available in edit mode.
Posted by Talgarth Festival on 12/03/26 12:50

I'm trying to change a page layout from one column to two but this is no lo longer available. 

If I create a new page, I am given the option of Content and Right, but this isn't available for editing an exisiting page.

I'm sure there used to be more layput options!

Thanks for any help with this.

Hi

In Edit mode go to the Layout Tab at the top.  Depending on how your website is constructred the page layout will have 5 areas in the shape of a cross TOP / CONTENT / BOTTOM (running vertically), and along the middle portion LEFT / CONTENT / RIGHT (running horizontally).  The CONTENT being the same

If all your content is in the TOP section I'd drag the "Includelets" to the CONTENT area.  Any existing includelet or new includelet that you wish to appear on either the left or right side of the page drag to/create in the appropriate area.  If, for example, you want to add new text on the right side click add an Includelet and then select Custom Content (NOT Content item).  The "Content Item Includelet" shown in the layout is from the main page when you go into the Edit tab, so don't delete.

You will need to return to the Edit tab to save what you have done.

Regards

Alan

I would like to add a screen shot of what I'm seeing when trying to edit this particular page, but I'm not susre why I can't add one here.

There are no other areas options showing for me - I have seen them when creating the website a couple of years ago, but the 5 areas options are just not showing.

In theory all pages now always have all the areas available all the time - there's no need to switch to a layout that has fewer slots available.

The columns/slots only appear on pages if there is anything in them, so you essentially choose the number of slots in your layout just by putting things in them or not, rather than changing the layout to hide/remove those slots.

Do you have pages where all the different slots are not showing up? If so please let me know and I'll see what's happened, and enable them all for you.

Thanks

Joe
