Templating in PRO

[Pbalazs89]

Hi there,

I commonly have the following issue.
Let’s say the client supplies a design sketch for the website.

I design the buttons to look like how they look in the design. I do this by designing the button in the content editor, and then saving the template. Then whenever I create a new button, I just apply that template to it and untick “replace content”

Then when the site is finished, the client comes back to me and says that he decided that the buttons might look better in a different color.

Because of this, I commonly have to go through each and every button and update the color individually, because there is no way to uniformly update that original template across all of them. Is there a better way to manage this? I was thinking of reusable blocks, but to my knowledge the content in the case of those is fixed.

Thanks!

Hi @Pbalazs89,

Thanks for reaching out.

There’s no global option to change the button styling using the v2 Button element but if you are using a classic button element then you can set a global styling in the X/ Pro > Theme Options > Buttons. On the other hand, this is not also doable using the global blocks because the content in the global block is fixed. Another way to address your issue is, you should learn about CSS where you can override the pre-made theme CSS.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.
