You may ask why i need page or post option? I can do almost anything with a good page builder plugin and an ordinary theme with few page/post templates. The answer is “Wrong”, you can do much more with page or post options and you might miss these option at some point of time. In this article we are going to discuss the page or post options you will find in TemplatesNext WordPress theme and what you can do with them. TemplatesNext have been developing WordPress themes and plugins since the early days of WordPress, it is more than a decade now. TemplatesNext have been adding this options on request of our users.
If you are a simple blogger, you probably won’t need these options but if you are starting a business website or WooCommerce website, you will miss these options at certain point of time. If you are a developer, you will love these options.
These options won’t add any additional code on frontend, in fact some options will reduce codes from your front-end files that your users browser will open. For example; if you hide the footer widget area in a specific specific page, entire section will be removed from the page making it lighter. Bothe the premium and the free themes comes with page/post options.
