The site editor’s template section provides a user-friendly list of all available templates, using descriptive names instead of technical file names like “archive.html” or “single.html”. The WordPress template hierarchy remains intact but becomes more accessible.
You’ll see theme templates at the top (following standard WordPress template hierarchy) and custom page templates at the bottom. This organization makes it easy to understand what templates exist and quickly access the one you need.
The interface provides direct access to template editing – just click on any template to start customizing. You can also create new templates directly from this interface using the plus button.
This streamlined approach eliminates the need to remember file naming conventions or manually create template files in your code editor.
