Accessing the Thrive Apprentice Templates

Adding and Setting Up the Access Restricted Template
The Thrive Apprentice templates page is where you can view all the existing templates and add new ones.
There are two ways you can set up an Access Restricted template in Thrive Apprentice
Editing the Default Access Restricted template
Like the other templates in the library, Thrive Apprentice offers a Default Restricted Course and the Default Restricted Site Content templates that you can edit and use.
The Default Restricted Course template can be used for Thrive Apprentice courses, lessons, modules, etc. Whereas the Default Restricted Site Content template can be used to protect posts and pages on your website.
In this example, we’ll use the Default Restricted Course template.
To use this template, scroll down the Thrive Apprentice templates page, hover on the Default Restricted Course template, and click Edit.
Clicking Edit will open the Default Restricted Course template in the editor where you can make the changes you want.
Creating a New Access Restricted Template
Thrive Apprentice allows you to create new templates from scratch and customize them further.
To create a new Access Restricted template, open the Thrive Apprentice templates page, and click +Add New on the top right.
When you click +Add New, you’ll see a popup where you enter the template details.
This popup asks you to enter the following details:
- New Template Name: The name you want to associate with the template.
- Choose Content Type: Select the content type you want to include in this template. You can select among options like Lesson, School Homepage, Course Overview, Module, Certificate Verification, etc.
- Choose Post Format: This field is available if you select the content type as Lesson in the previous field. This is where you can select the post format as Standard, Video or Audio based on the type of the lesson.
In this example, we’ll set the Template name and choose the content type as Restricted Course.
After entering the template name and the content type, you’ll see two ways to add a template.
