How do I set a magazine template on a new page without it changing the other pages?

I don't seem to be able to set up a new page with a magazine template without it changing the templates of my other pages...

Can you give more detail? How is it changing the templates of the other pages. Can you share a link? Do you have caching plugin enabled?

The magazine template is a standalone template. I don't know how it's possible for it to affect other pages.

Thanks for the quick response Dan. As it turns out, it's not impacting the other pages. But oddly, when I set up a new page and select a magazine template, though I'm leaving the content field empty, the new page is populated with the content of the main page. I don't understand why. http://www.the-small-business-resour...template-test/

That's exactly how it's designed to work. Read the setup pdf on the download page for help with the magazine templates.

Basically you add posts to a "Featured" Category and use featured images to slide in the slider. And the recent posts display below.

See example at:

Dont have a way to create another magazine page seting to the category, as in the case of portfolio page? custom field=pcat=slug?

If not, how you showed the two models in your demo page? Have you two wordpress installations there?

Those are two different magazine layouts.. You can create as many magazine templates as you want and can change the category in Magazine-Two.php if you wish via the template file.

Just find: $catidy=get_cat_ID('featured');

And replace category name.
