Single Page Template

What it's for: Displaying individual static pages (post_type='page' only) - your About, Contact, Services, and other standalone pages

When it's used: When someone visits any static page on your site through navigation menus, direct links, or search engines

What you can design: The complete layout for how static pages appear - page headers, content areas, contact forms, service descriptions, or whatever elements you want for your static content

Appears when: Any content published as WordPress Pages is visited

Examples of when this template appears:​

  • Someone clicks "About Us" in your main navigation and lands on your About page.
  • That's your Single Page template.
  • Or when someone visits your Contact page through a footer link - they see your Single Page template.

What dynamic data is available:​

You have access to the current page's complete data

  • title
  • content
  • featured image
  • custom fields (ACF/MetaBox)
  • metadata
  • parent/child page relationships
Pro feature

You can also query related pages, page hierarchies, and custom field data all within the context of that specific page. Learn more about using dynamic data →

What you control:​

Everything on individual static pages - headers, content presentation, contact forms, service listings, team member profiles. You design the entire experience for people viewing your static content.

Doesn't affect:​

  • Blog posts - those use Single Post templates
  • Custom post types (Products, Events) - those use Singular templates
  • Archive pages, search results, or your blog homepage - those need Archive templates

Template Priority: 20​

This template has default priority 20 in Builderius template hierarchy. It will override templates with higher numbers (like All Singulars at 90, or Entire Website at 100) but gives way to more specific templates with lower numbers like Front Page template at 10.

Note: When you design a page or post directly (without using templates), that design always wins regardless of priority numbers. Learn more about designing pages directly →
