I’m trying to create a page template for creating landing pages on my site that uses Specular theme. One thing that is normally desirable on a landing page is that the page be very minimal, with no navigation, etc. I tried to use page.php to create a landing template, but the includes and sophistication of the template is making it difficult. Is there a Specular template, or built in functionality to hide menus and strip all the widgets off of a specific page type?
You do not need to edit theme files for this. The page.php file is responsible for all page’s not just one. So editing it will result in a change of all pages.
What you can do is create the layout you want using theme options, Visual Composer elements and custom css code.
-Create a new page;
-add the elements you want to show in it;
-in the page’s custom css box (screenshot), add css that hides menu and other page’s default elements you do not want to show.
-save changes- > add page to menu;
