Overview

Create unlimited content templates and add to any page, or multiple pages. Any change to a content template is automatically updated wherever it’s used on your site. You only ever have to edit in one place! No more hunting around for all instances of content and updating multiple times.

The Contemplate plugin is great for things like adding banners, or content blocks that you duplicate throughout your site.
