Would you like to design custom layouts for your shop, products, cart, and other areas of your site? The Templates Builder module in Botiga Pro lets you build these areas with the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) or Elementor.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to use the Templates Builder in Botiga.
Before you get started, make sure you’ve installed and activated the Botiga theme on your WordPress site. If you’re using features from Botiga Pro, ensure that both the Botiga theme and the Botiga Pro plugin are installed and active. The Templates Builder is a Botiga Pro feature, so this requires Botiga Pro.
The Templates Builder lets you build blog archive pages, single blog posts, regular pages, shop archive pages, single product pages, the my account page, the order thank you page, the 404 page, content blocks, custom mega menu content, and modal popup content.
How to enable the Templates Builder
From your admin area, go to Botiga » Theme Dashboard, find the Templates Builder module, and click Activate. Once the module is active, click Build templates to open the templates interface.
After you activate the module, you can also find the templates interface under Botiga » Templates Builder.
