Template System

Point a Design Page at a class of content — posts, custom post types, archives, taxonomies, search, 404, the homepage, the WooCommerce shop.

What a template assignment is

A normal Design Page, pointed at a class of content. Instead of writing the words into content fields, you write placeholders that resolve per item at render time — so one designed page renders every blog post, or every category archive.

What you can assign a template to

Single posts, and any custom post type
Category, tag and custom taxonomy archives
Post type archives
Search results
Date archives
404
The homepage
The WooCommerce shop archive

Manage them at Settings → Templates, or over MCP with create_template_assignment, list_template_assignments, update_template_assignment and delete_template_assignment.

Test before you ship: test_template_assignment resolves an assignment against real content so you can see what it will actually match.

Template assignments, managed in Settings → Templates.

Placeholders

Single posts and CPTs

Template System — NoLeemits AI Design Documentation · · August 9, 2026 · noleemits · and the rest of the {{post_*}} family.

Build the template page with these instead of content fields. If you're writing the body of a specific post rather than a template, use the post's own content and .

Archives and taxonomies

{{archive_*}} · {{term_*}} · {{post_type_archive_*}} · {{search_query}} · {{paged_*}}

Fourteen placeholder families in total, covering archive titles and descriptions, term names, counts and metadata, the current search string, and pagination state.

WooCommerce shop

The shop archive is fully designable.

{{main_query}} renders the real product loop — WooCommerce's own pre_get_posts still applies, so filtering, sorting and pagination behave normally.
Seven {{loop_wc_*}} placeholders for the individual product card pieces.
Price slider, category dropdown and sort filters, driven by URL parameters, out of the box.
Integration is via template_include at priority 1000, which keeps Yoast / Rank Math wp_head output and pagination intact.

Single product pages are covered in Theme Compatibility.

Homepage

set_homepage and get_homepage accept either a Design Page or a regular page with the plugin enabled on it.
