How to add custom tag template?

Hi!

In the Tags section, there’s an option under “Other options” to select a Custom template. It’s currently greyed out and says “not available in your theme”. How do I create them? I’m already familiar with creating custom post templates, but couldn’t find much documentation for tags.

Hi Candide,

I found these in the old “Starter” theme (https://github.com/GetPublii/theme-Starter) where you can declare custom tag and author templates in the config.json file.
```
"authorTemplates": {
    "alternative": "1 column layout"
},
"tagTemplates": {
    "alternative": "1 column layout"
},
```
Then create the respective author-alternative.hbs and tag-alternative.hbs files.

Edit: I just searched the Developer Documentation and see it being mentioned. 🙂
