Sela Grid Template: Step-by-step needed

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m having an endless amount of trouble getting the grid template in Sela to work. I have read other forums, read and re-read the instructions provided on the Sela template page and am completely stumped!

    Can anyone please offer step-by-step directions on how to make the page linked at the bottom of this post work?

    For reference, this is what I’ve done – in case you can see where I went wrong:
    1. The “Offerings” page already existed, so I went in and edited this page’s “template” under “Page Attributes” to “grid template”, did not set a parent page, and I set a featured Image (which isn’t showing up but I’m less concerned about that).
    2. I created a “New Page” and called “Paper Tags”. In the edit box for this page, under “Page Attributes” I set the “Parent” as the “Offerings” page, set the “Theme” as “Full Width Page”, put a few words in the body, and set a featured image. But it didn’t show up on the offerings page the way it does in the Sela example.
    3. Thinking that maybe it’d take a couple of pages set up like the “Paper Tags” to get them to pop up in a grid format on the “Offerings” page, I set up a second page called “Vintage Buttons” the same way I set up “Paper Tags”. But still nothing is showing up on the “Offerings” page.

    I’m so confused and I have no clue how to make it work. I really appreciate any help you guys can offer and hopefully whatever you share will help other people too. Thank you!

  • I wonder why offerings page says: Nothing found.

    Have you published it?

    I am able to make a grid page using the same steps you described. So I know it works as advertised :-)

    Hi,

    Thanks for your response. I double checked the “offerings” page and I published it October 8th and have updated it since so it’s definitely supposed to be working. I can’t figure out why it’s saying ‘nothing found’ either.

  • I just clicked on the link to offerings page in your original description which took me to http://notionhandmade.com/offerings-2/ which has grid in it :-)

    I decided to try and delete the existing “offerings”, Paper tags”, and “Vintage buttons” pages and started over. I did the exact things above and it worked.

    I am going to clean up the pages but for now I’m just happy it’s working! Thank you for being willing to help!
