Expand the types of templates that can be added in the Site Editor #37407
Description
Currently it's possible to add the following Primary templates in the Site Editor:
- Front page
- Single
- Page
- Archive
- Search
- 404
- Index
It's a good start, but the WordPress template hierarchy allows for much more expression. It would be good to explore flows that allow the creation of:
- Custom/general templates Site Editor: Add New - Custom/General template #36860
- Template for a specific post (
single-post-$slug) - Template for a specific page (
page-$slug) - Date template (
date) - Attachment template (
attachment)
Author templates
-
author -
author-$nicename
Category templates
-
category -
category-$slug
Custom post type templates
-
single-$post-type -
single-$posttype-$slug -
archive-$posttype
Taxonomy templates
-

Tag templates

Tangentially related:
- Ensure that no templates created in these flows are empty (FSE: Pre-populate template with fallback upon creation #42007)
