FAQs
1. How do I save a blog post to the template library?
You can’t save an entire blog post directly, but you can create it as a section and then save that section. Here’s how:
- Use GemPages elements (like Heading, Text Block, Image, and Button) to build your blog post layout inside one section on your page.
- Once your design is ready, hover over that section.
- Click Create Theme Section and save it to your Template Library.
This way, you can reuse your blog post layout as a template anytime without rebuilding from scratch.
2. Can I edit a saved section later?
Yes. When you update a section in the Template Library, the changes will automatically sync across all pages where that section is used.
3. Can I delete a saved section from the Template Library?
Absolutely. Go to your Template Library, hover over the saved section, and choose Delete.
This action will NOT remove the section from pages where it has already been added. It only deletes it from the library for future use.
4. Is there a limit to how many sections I can save?
The Theme Section feature is only available on GemPages v7 paid plans, and the limit depends on which plan you’re using:
- Build Plan: 20 theme sections saved.
- Optimize Plan: 100 theme sections saved.
- Enterprise Plan: Unlimited theme sections saved.
For the best performance, we recommend keeping your library organized and only saving sections you actually reuse often.
