What is Page Template?

Page templates are a specific type of template file that can be applied to a specific page or groups of pages. Read more on WordPress about Why people use template files?

  • Page template is used to change the look and feel of a page.
  • A page template can be applied to a single page, a page section, or a class of pages.
