# Page

> Use: `{{#is "page"}}{{/is}}` to detect this context

***

Whenever you’re viewing a static page, you’re in the `page` context. The `page` context is not set on posts, which uses the `post` context instead.

## Routes

The URL used to render a static page is always `/:slug/`. This cannot be customised, unlike post permalinks.

## Templates

The default template for a page is `post.hbs` and an optional `page.hbs` template can be used.

Custom templates for specific pages are determined using `page-:slug.hbs`, with the `:slug` matching the static page’s slug.

For example, if you have an ‘About’ page with the url `/about/`, adding a template called `page-about.hbs` will cause that template to be used instead of `page.hbs`, or `post.hbs`.

These templates exist in a hierarchy. Ghost looks for a template which matches the slug (`page-:slug.hbs`) first, then looks for `page.hbs` and finally uses `post.hbs` if neither is available.

## Data

The `page` context provides access to the post object which matches the route. A page is just a special type of post, so the data object is called a post, not a page. As with all contexts, all of the `@site` global data is also available.

When outputting the page, the block expression `{{#post}}{{/post}}` is used to drop into the post scope and access all of the attributes. All of the data available for a page is the same as the data for a post.

### Post (page) object attributes

* **id** — incremental ID of the page
* **title** — the title of your static page
* **excerpt** — a short preview of your page content
* **content** — the content of the page
* **url** — the web address for the static page
* **feature\_image** — the cover image associated with the page
* **feature\_image\_alt** — alt text for the cover image associated with the page
* **feature\_image\_caption** — caption for the cover image associated with the page (supports basic html)
* **featured** — indicates a featured page, defaults to `false`
* **page** — `true` if the post is a static page, defaults to `false`
* **meta\_title** — custom meta title for the page
* **meta\_description** — custom meta description for the page
* **published\_at** — date and time when the page was published
* **updated\_at** — date and time when the page was last updated
* **created\_at** — date and time when the page was created
* **primary\_author** — a formatted link to the first author. See [Authors for more information](/themes/helpers/data/authors/)
* **tags** - a list of tags associated with the page

## Helpers

Using the `{{#post}}{{/post}}` block expression is used to theme a static page. Once inside of the page, you can use any of these useful helpers (and many more) to output your page’s data:

`{{title}}`, `{{content}}`, `{{url}}`, `{{author}}`, `{{date}}`, `{{excerpt}}`, `{{img_url}}`, `{{post_class}}]`, `{{tags}}`.

```html theme={"dark"}
<!-- page.hbs -->

<!-- Everything inside the #post tags pulls data from the static page -->
{{#post}}

<article class="{{post_class}}">
  <header class="page-header">
    <h1 class="page-title">{{title}}</h1>
    <section class="page-meta">
      <time class="page-date" datetime="{{date format='YYYY-MM-DD'}}">
        {{date format="DD MMMM YYYY"}}
      </time>
      {{tags prefix=" on "}}
    </section>
  </header>
  <section class="page-content">
    {{content}}
  </section>
</article>

{{/post}}
```
