Unlock Dynamic Templating in WordPress with Dynamic Template Parts
Dynamic Template Parts supercharges the WordPress Full Site Editor. Instead of creating separate templates for every layout variation, you can dynamically assign Template Parts like headers or sidebars on a per-content basis. No more messing around with code or theme files—this plugin handles it all through a simple, intuitive block editor interface. It’s like having a magic wand for your site design.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Dynamic Template Parts
Getting started with Dynamic Template Parts is as easy as sipping tea (or coffee). Here’s the workflow:
- Create an Alternative Template Part
In the Full Site Editor, design and save a new Template Part (e.g., a funky alternative header). This is your custom piece of content magic.
- Enable Dynamic Template Part for a Template
Open the template you want to customise, select a Template Part block (like your header), and head to the block settings sidebar. Toggle the "Dynamic Template Part" option and configure the swapping preferences. Fancy swapping only headers or any type? Choose your flavour.
- Edit a Post and Access the Dynamic Template Sidebar
Head over to the post editor. In the sidebar, you’ll find the Dynamic Template Part panel. This is where you select your shiny new Template Part to replace the default.
- Save and Preview
Save your changes and preview the post. Voilà! Your content now features the alternative Template Part, while other posts keep the default.
Why Use Dynamic Template Parts?
Flexibility: Adjust your site’s design per post, page, or custom post type without creating extra templates.
