Can't change page templete - auto default page can't be changed

Store Design
1

When i make the page is has an option drop down to select “Theme Template” which only has two (2) options:

-Default page

-contact

If i leave it on Default page - All my pages become the same. For example: I edited the FAQ page in my online store editor and then i click on T&C in the navigation and it has all the same details and texts i wrote in the FAQ page.

It appears they are all defaulted to the same page data. The dropdown menu, is that on the left side where you see the “layout”, “templates”, “sections”, and so on? I tried to create a new page under “templates”, but it doesn’t do anything, it just deletes the page when I exit the coding, even though i save it.

I don’t have the option of edit code, could it be because I’m using a template I will have to buy later?

If you’re on the starter plan (5/mo) you wont be able to edit them. Otherwise:

  1. Create unique templates using the dropdown at top of theme customizer and save.

  2. Make sure the theme you just edited is published as the live theme.

  3. Navigate to Online Store>Pages>Select Page>Page Template>Select your newly created template

My guess is you don’t have the theme published, so the other template dropdown options are not being shown in the page settings. Good luck!

Hi @thegoodsteward

You can create a new template by following this instruction

So, I’m editing a template. It won’t allow me to change the default template on certain pages within it.
