Homepage Layouts

May 4, 2026 docsadmin 1 min read

Switch between Categories Grid, Sidebar Tree, and Single-Column homepage layouts u2014 without touching code.

MyWiki ships with a Wiki Home page template that renders three sections: hero with search, category grid, and a featured articles strip. The Categories Grid section can be styled in three different ways depending on your content.

Categories Grid (default)

Cards laid out in a responsive grid (3 across on desktop, 1 on mobile). Each card shows the category name, description, post count, and the three most recent articles within it.

Best for: knowledge bases with 4u20138 categories of similar weight.

Sidebar Tree

A two-column layout: navigation tree on the left, current category contents on the right. Readers can browse the entire knowledge base structure at a glance.

Best for: technical documentation with deep hierarchies. Think API references or developer guides.

Single-Column List

Articles in a flat editorial-style list, grouped by category with a subtle divider. No cards, no grid u2014 just clean prose.

Best for: editorial knowledge bases, brand documentation, internal handbooks. Pairs beautifully with the Editorial skin.

Switching layouts

In Appearance u2192 Customize u2192 MyWiki Theme Options u2192 Homepage, set Categories layout. The change is live-previewed.

Layout choice is independent from skin choice. You can run the Default skin with the Sidebar Tree layout, or the Editorial skin with the Categories Grid u2014 any combination.
