Customize The Templates For Individual Posts Content (Advanced)
Your Post Hub can house several types of content. It can be helpful to think of your Post Hub like a building with several floors.
The Post Hub's main page is like the entire building.
Each type of content that the Post Hub houses is contained on different floors. All Collections exist on their own floor, all Authors exist on their own floor, and all Topics exist on their own floor.
Then on each floor, there are several rooms that contain each individual piece of content. On the "All Collections" floor, each room contains an individual Collection's Posts; on the "All Authors" floor, each room contains an individual Author's Posts; etc.
It's these individual "rooms" that we're focusing on here that you can customize the cosmetics and some text aspects (the walls and decorations of the rooms, if you will).
In other words, you can customize how an individual Collection's page looks across all sermons. You do the same for each individual Author and Topic page. You can also customize each main page (i.e. each "floor") of your Post Hub. Click here to learn how to do that.
Note: Customizing each individual page's template (i.e. "room") is an advanced feature that in most cases you will not need to make adjustments to.
To get started, click on Post Hub in Nucleus Posts. Click here for a quick link.
In this guide, we'll cover the following topics. Click on any one to jump ahead.
Information Sections: They're Everywhere!
Your Post Hub houses three different types of pages that contain individual pieces of content: All Collections, All Authors, All Topics.
Inside those main "All" pages, they display their respective pieces of content. For instance, All Collections will house each individual Collections, All Authors will house each individual Author, etc.
It's the template for each individual Collection, Author, and topic, and how the content is displayed, that you can customize the cosmetics and some text aspects of for each template.

Note: This is an advanced feature that most churches will not need to adjust. But if you love fine tuning every aspect of your website and Post Hub, have fun!
A quick note about Information Sections:
Aside from a Post's individual template, all other pieces of content has an Information Section as the header of the page. If you're familiar with building pages in Nucleus Web, you'll have no trouble editing these templates. But no worries if you're coming to this without any experience in Nucleus Web. We'll walk you through the editing process in the section below.
Customize The "Rooms" For A Specific Type Of Content
While editing your Post Hub, click Templates in the left sidebar. Then click Edit for which type of individual content you wish to edit the page for.
From there, you can edit each individual page's template in the same way that you can adjust each section's main page as discussed here.
All main pages consist of two sections:
- The header
- The actual content specific to that page.
To rename the section (for admin purposes only), click the down arrow and select Rename.
To edit a header section, simply click on it.
For the header section, if you're familiar with Nucleus Web, you'll notice this is just an Information Section and will be very accustomed to all of the options available to you, like how to change the layout and adjust text and button options, right down to adding actions (i.e. buttons) to your section.
To edit the appearance of your template, click on any of the 5 options at the top (e.g. Adjust Text & Buttons), and you'll be able to navigation through the various tabs at the top of the page to explore all of your design options.
All your changes are autosaved, but as you make changes, you might want to preview what that will look like on your website. To do this, click the Close button and click the Preview button in the top right corner, which will open a new tab in your browser.
To edit any text that appears in your header section, simply type in the Top Label, Headline, and/or Body text fields, being sure to make use of the various text tools. (These tools are also available for the Top Label and Headline. Simply click the text field and the options will appear.)
Note: If you'd like a bit more in-depth instructions on all the text tools, click here to check out our visual guide for the Information Section in Nucleus Web.
Note: You'll notice the Headline is already filled. We recommend keeping this as is, though if you truly feel strongly to change this, all the power to you.
If you want to add any actions (i.e. buttons) to your header section, scroll down and click on + Add an Action.
Depending on what page template you're editing, you might already have a "Subscribe" action created. In that case, you will want to select Other action when adding another button.
Here, you can select a particular type of action, each with its own unique item to link to it. Then you can add the call-to-action (CTA) text, and select which button style you want. (Button styles are managed within Nucleus Web here.) When you're happy with your choices, click Add New Action.
If you have more than one action, you can click the two lines on an action and drag it up/down to your desired order.
All of your changes are autosaved, so you can go through to all your different pages and edit them without needing to worry about losing your changes 😊
To edit the List Section (that appears below the Info Section you were just editing), head back to the template you are working on, and click on the List Section.
For a list section (where the actual content for the page exists), you can adjust the same options as you can as the sections on your Post Hub homepage: the colors and background (with the option to also add custom CSS code as an advanced setting).
