To apply your own information to a blog post template in Webflow without it syncing with other posts, you can follow these steps:
1. Duplicate the blog post template: Start by duplicating the existing blog post template in your Webflow project. This will create a separate template specifically for your custom post.
2. Customize the duplicated template: Open the duplicated template and customize it to suit your needs. You can modify the layout, typography, colors, and add any additional elements you require. Make sure to focus on the individual post content section where you'll be adding your own information.
3. Disconnect dynamic binding: By default, the elements in your duplicated template will still be linked to the dynamic data source. To disconnect the elements and prevent them from syncing with other posts, select each element, go to the Settings panel (right-hand sidebar), and click on the "Unbind" icon next to the dynamic field. This will disconnect the element from the dynamic data source.
4. Add custom fields: If you need to add additional information specific to your post, you can do so by defining custom fields. In the Collections panel, go to the collection that holds your blog posts, click on the "+ Add Field" button, and define the new field. Then, go back to the duplicated template and add a new element that corresponds to the custom field. To populate this information, you will need to fill out the custom field when creating or editing the post in the Webflow CMS.
5. Populate your custom post: To create a new blog post using your customized template, go to the Webflow CMS and navigate to the collection where your posts are stored. Click on the "+ New" button to create a new post, and fill out the necessary details, including the custom fields you added. Make sure to provide all the information required for your custom post.
By following these steps, you can customize the blog post template in Webflow and apply your own information without it syncing with other posts. This allows you to have unique layouts, content, and styling for individual blog posts while still benefiting from the dynamic capabilities of Webflow's CMS.
