Academica Pro includes a set of page templates that change a page’s layout. Select one in the page settings sidebar, under Template:

Used for the static front page — see Setting Up the Homepage:
| Template | Layout |
|---|---|
| Homepage | Slideshow at 2/3 width next to the sidebar (default) |
| Homepage (Full-width Slider) | Slideshow spans the full theme width |
| Homepage (Slider in the middle) | Three columns, slideshow in the middle |
| Homepage (Slider at the top) | Slideshow at the very top (1270×500), above everything |
| Template | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Default template | Standard page with sidebars |
| Full Width | No sidebars — the content spans the full width |
| No Left Sidebar / No Right Sidebar | Hide one of the two sidebar columns |
| Blog Archives | Turns a page into the blog listing — see Setting Up the Blog Page |
| Parent Page | Lists the page’s child pages automatically — handy for section overviews (e.g. About listing Staff, Location, …) |
| Testimonials List | Lists all your Testimonials |
| Page Builder (No Title) | A blank canvas without the page title — made for Elementor and Beaver Builder layouts |
Independent of the template, every post and page has a Featured Image Location option (in the Post Options / Featured Image box) that controls where its Featured Image appears when viewing it individually:
