Basic Pages in Listing Pages

A Basic Page highlights informational content, often long-form text. Most pages on your website will be basic pages. They will typically be a part of your site navigation structure. For some use cases, you'll need to provide a list view that links to many basic pages with deeper information on a separate page. 

Some examples:

  • Guides

  • Programs, grants, and training opportunities

  • Reference materials

How to Create a Basic Page for a Listing Page

 You'll follow the same instructions that are outlined in Basic Page. To display the basic page in the listing page, you'll set the page parent to the Basic Page Listing Page and set the taxonomy term to the same as the listing page.

1. Listing page parent

Select a listing page to use as a parent page. The parent link displays in this page's side navigation, and the parent's title is used in this page's breadcrumb trail and URL path.

The first accordion item labeled Listing page parent contains a dropdown to select the listing page parent

2. Agency taxonomy term

Select the appropriate agency taxonomy term on the basic page that matches the "show only" agency taxonomy on the listing page. Otherwise, all basic pages will be included on your listing page.

Form fields on the basic page, including agency taxonomy with a type-ahead box for selecting the taxonomy
