Description

This creates a page template giving you a blank page so only the content of the page is displayed. Header and footer are totally empty. This is great for page builders (Beaver Builder, Divi, etc), landing pages and squeeze pages.


This plugin will load everything that is normally included in the wp_head() and wp_footer(), so all scripts and styles should load as normal.

Installation

  1. Unzip and upload the plugin into the plugins directory and then activate it.
  2. Go to Pages
  3. Add New, or select an existing page
  4. Scroll down on the right (in theory) and select the page template called “Blank Slate”

A Must Have Plugin

Great job Aaron. Now that Gutenberg has been reborn, this feature should be in core. Tabula rasa if you're going to be given such lovely canvas tools in an era when Web hosts clamour to give their customers drag and drop tools.
