WordPress sales letter template

by JD Jens

I'm looking for a wordpress template that is good for having a traditional sales letter on it. I've been looking for awhile but haven't seen one. Anyone know of a good one?

      Nice job Quentin. On another note, I wish there was a simpler way to create customized posts without having to code a custom post template file. In other words if there was a way to buy or download custom post templates that are "affiliate product template ready" so that they integrate with any existing theme. For example your theme layout is a "page template" right? So if that were to fit nicely into a post template and integrate and be compatible with any theme, that would be great. I just want to have one of my team members who is not technical put up affil product pages easily within any theme we have deployed. I hope I'm making sense here.

      thanks I'm aware of that one.It seems to be a good one. Again, I was hoping for a guide on how to use this plugin as there are so many ways to manage "custom" anything . I just want a simple plugin to do what custom post does, but come with "pre-made templates" for common types of posts and affiliate offers, etc. that would be ideal.

      There are many "affiliate plugins" but sometimes I just want to highlight one or two affil items that I see searched a lot on my sites and put up a quick post and forward some traffic there without modifying my whole post structure with insertion of an affiliate plugin.

        I am not sure I get what you are asking.

        Let's go back to the basics:
        Out of the box WP can recognize if you have additional Page Templates in your theme, beyond the default page.php.
        If you run the default theme - the dropdown menu for selecting Page template will appear because in that theme archives.php and links.php are Page templates. If no other Page templates, just the default page.php - the selection drop-down doesn't appear.

        For the posts in single post view the default template is single.php. The WP engine is not able to recognize any additional post templates... because, probably, the developers made WP as a publishing tool, not as a "marketing" tool.

        Next, comes this plugin into the picture - and to put it in a very simplistic way, it adds a template selection drop-down for posts, too. That's it.

        For BOTH cases, be it Page templates or posts templates you MUST add physical files into your theme folder, with the required lines at the top. No exception.

        Now, for the design, layout, look (call it whatever you want) of these template files you can have two basic approaches:
        a) to make based on the template files of you theme - in which case the new pages will have a look like your blog...
        b) to go to an extreme, like I did with my example/sample file (for Pages) - in which case the new pages have a totally different look

        (of course, anything in between is possible...)

        Any plugin of this kind could provide "pre-made" templates ONLY for the case b)... i.e. completely different look.

        For posts templates based on your won theme you would need to save your single.php file as whatever.php > add the code to the top as explained in the plugin's readme... and modify it as much as you want. And you could have tens of them created in your theme folder.

        I am not sure what those affil plugins do... (I am a plugin minimalist!) but I can imagine to be able to have posts templates with different structures, custom widget areas, custom plugin tags (that activate the plugin only in those templates) etc.

          all great input, thanks. I'm not trying to do any work. You're a plugin in minimalist, I'm a work minimalist , I don't mind installing 30 plugins a blog as long as they do what I need.

          For example datafeer is a plugin I use, takes a bit of configuration to get a factory "store" for your blog. But once configured, it just runs, however, you can implement post templates to your liking (as you say, create tens of posts templates as needed . I'm just trying to find the "product" that has already created the templates I need so I don't have to recreate them. But no worries, plenty of good coders abound.

          Thanks for explaining.
          Cheers,
