Dynamic Templates & Elements

Are you using a theme you like, but are you missing the incredible template and element functionality of classic themes like Kadence, Blocksy and GeneratePress? We offer enhancements for Classic, Hybrid and FSE themes.

Working with different templates and elements

Template assigner

Most classic WordPress themes and all FSE (Full Site Editing) themes miss flexibility when it comes to working with different templates. We provide identical capabilities for classic themes through the element feature.

Elements

Something that’s often missing in any theme is an Elements feature.
Default elements are perfect for the placement of a popup or flyout block site-wide, or anything you like.

Fixed Elements

Something that’s also regularly missing in any theme is the Fixed Elements feature.
Fixed elements are ideal for floating buttons, logos, brands, social media icons, scroll to top, etc. The plugin installs a real and usable floating button example.

Go to top

The plugin has a default fixed element ‘Go to Top’ (Scroll to top). You can copy and edit the element. The plugin provides 2 classes; one to turn a native button into a go-to-top button, the other to make every element behave as a go-to-top button.

Page content elements

Except for a few premium classic themes, this is one of the most important features for any site builder. Being able to create your own content element template for posts, pages, and custom post types. The best thing? Elements just replace the content part, not the headers and footers. FSE themes already have editable templates, but even then, working with page content elements is a lot easier and faster; you just design, assign and save.

WooCommerce product elements

Ever wanted or needed to create your own – totally customized – WooCommerce product design? With added images, text, and video? Or maybe just a cool minimalistic product page. You can create your own WooCommerce product template, even several of them, and assign them to your products, all of them or targeted by post ID, category and even tags! This is for classic themes; we provide the same capabilities for FSE themes through the template assignment feature.

FSE theme headers & footers

Ever wished there was an easy way to show a post type or a specific page with another header or footer? I mean, copying and replacing headers and footers in templates can take time… well, not anymore! The plugin provides a better way to handle headers and footers. Copying, assigning per posttype, ID, category, tag, etc. This feature is exclusive to FSE themes due to the inherent characteristics of classic themes.

Dynamic page content block

The plugin provides a special Gutenberg block to show the user-created content on an element. When working with elements and templates, it is actually best to work with custom fields. However, sometimes you also want to be able to display user-placed content. That is what the dynamic page content block is for.

Export and Import

Export and import functionality is available for FSE templates, template parts, headers, footers, and elements. The file format is JSON (universal). You can use this for backups or to exchange templates, template parts, headers, footers and elements between sites.

Vertical text

We’ve added something extra: vertical text. Most themes don’t support vertical text for standard Gutenberg blocks. We support both the international variant (top-to-bottom) and the Western European variant (bottom-to-top). This also works site-wide (optional).

The solution many developers need

Traditional themes come with significant constraints related to templates, including WooCommerce templates. While Full Site Editing (FSE) addresses some of these issues, it still has its set of limitations, particularly when it comes to user-friendliness. For some developers, the need for specific features makes them reluctant to transition to FSE. Fortunately, the Dynamic Templates & Elements plugin effectively resolves these challenges.

What is the added value of the Dynamic Templates & Elements plugin?

Assigning templates to posts

If you are familiar with classic premium themes like Kadence, Blocksy, Astra or GeneratePress, you are probably also familiar with their Elements and assign to functionality; you design a page template and assign it to specific post types, individual post IDs, category or tags.

A similar advantage comes with a plugin like Shop Kit, which allows you to create and assign product templates for WooCommerce.

Dynamic Templates & Elements provides features like those premium themes and Shop Kit, but is compatible with all themes, including those that support full site editing!

Yes, we have tested it with a whole series of FSE themes and it works flawlessly everywhere. Internally, the plugin respects the workflow of core WordPress, so problems were not to be expected.

Please keep in mind that the plugin is really only intended for FSE themes, so not for Classic or Hybrid themes.

No, not at all. The plugin respects the native WordPress workflow when assigning templates, headers, and footers.

To render a post, page, or custom post type, WordPress looks at the template ID. The only thing the plugin does is place a different ID there.

The same applies to headers and footers. WordPress looks at the header and footer IDs for rendering anyway. After an assignment, there is simply a different ID there than before.

The only thing unique to the rendering of the FSE template is the conditional rendering for categories and tags. But even that is just an ID that is read in place of the other ID.

The only thing that changes is your workflow: it is many times faster and simpler. This functionality was built into various premium themes for a reason.

The Dynamic Templates & Elements plugin is advanced and totally supports custom post types.

The plugin is extremely easy to use. Just select a template and a post type and click on save.

The documentation provides a lot of information.

The answer varies. If you use the plugin solely to set single post, page, or product templates for full site editing themes, you could potentially disable or even uninstall the plugin after saving the assignment rules. All your assignments will continue to work as intended.

This does not apply to headers, footers, or dynamic post assignments based on categories and tags, as well as all other types of elements. Don’t worry, the website won’t crash; however, you will lose those features, and everything will revert to its previous appearance.

Classic themes and Full Site Editing (FSE) themes operate quite differently. In classic themes, headers and footers are dictated by the theme itself, with each one having its unique approach. In contrast, FSE themes provide a more cohesive and organized way to manage these elements across the entire site.

Custom WooCommerce product templates are only needed for classic themes since full site editing (FSE) themes already include this functionality.

We prioritize stability, which is why we’ve decided against creating exceptions for individual themes. Instead, we are adopting a consistent approach that is effective across all themes and ensures lasting reliability.
