Page settings and overrides
Use the Page Settings tab for slug, SEO, visibility, and per-page header, footer, or template overrides on ArtInStack.
Page Settings is the second tab next to Page Editor. It does not change block layout on the canvas—it controls how the page is addressed, discovered, and wrapped in site chrome.
Prerequisites
Dashboard → Pages → Edit → Page Settings tab
What you're looking at
| Field / control | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Page title | Internal/dashboard label; may feed default SEO title |
| URL slug | Path segment (/about, /contact) |
| Meta title & description | Search and social previews — see Page SEO settings |
| Publish / visibility | Often mirrored with toolbar; confirm before go-live |
| Header / footer template | Override site defaults for this page only |
| Page template / layout | Starting layout or full-page preset when offered |
Header and footer overrides
Site-wide defaults are managed under Settings → Header & Footer (Header, footer, and navigation, Working with page templates).
On Page Settings, you can assign a different header or footer template for one landing page—for example a minimal header on a campaign page while the rest of the site keeps your full navigation.
Template override
When Page Settings exposes a layout or template picker:
- Choosing a template may replace the canvas with a preset structure (sections, placeholder copy, sample blocks).
- Overrides affect this page only unless you edit the shared template in Header & Footer.
- After applying a template, review every placeholder block before publish.
Implementation steps
- Open Pages → Edit → Page Settings.
- Set slug to a short, readable path (lowercase, hyphens).
- Fill meta title and meta description for important pages.
- If you need a unique header or footer, pick overrides that exist in your template library.
- Switch to Page Editor, adjust blocks, Save Page, then publish from the toolbar.
Troubleshooting & common pitfalls
| Issue | Check |
|---|---|
| SEO unchanged in Google | Allow time; request re-indexing; confirm meta fields saved |
| Wrong header on one page | Page-level override vs site default in Header & Footer |
| Slug 404 | Page must be published; slug must not conflict with another page |
Verifying your setup
- Page Settings tab opens and saves without errors.
- Public URL matches your slug after publish.
- Meta fields appear in link previews when testing a share debugger.
