You can design Custom Pages and populate the content area of Category Pages using several methods including plain-text (Category pages only), manually coded HTML, or SHOP SITE’s built-in WYSIWIG Editor.

To populate content of a Custom Page using plain-text, simply type the text you wish to display into the “Body” input box. Manually coded HTML is entered exactly the same way…simply type the HTML code into the “Body” input box and it will be output accordingly.

If you wish to use SHOP SITE’s WYSIWIG Editor to manage Custom Page content, you must first enable “Use WYSIWIG” in Store Setting under the “General” tab. Once enabled, the WYSIWIG Editor will automatically appear when managing Custom Pages.

To populate content of a Category page using plain-text, simply type the text you wish to display into the “Copy” input box and be sure to set “Copy Content Type” to “Text”.
Using either manually coded HTML or the WYSIWIG Editor on Category Pages requires that “Copy Content Type” be set to “HTML” on Categories populated with HTML. Populating Category Pages with HTML while leaving the “Copy Content Type” set to “Text” will result in incorrect output of content.

Hint: Using a browser like Firefox with adjustable input boxes makes editing Content much easier.
