I have followed the tutorial and have got it working but i need the "pages" to have different template/layout. Currently in this tutorial all the pages follow the same template/layout.

7,490 PointsHi Kevin, I tried using the get_template_part to pull in the different page templates. My issues with this was the get_content on each template would only pull in the content of the main page that the the get_template_part was being placed. It would not pull the content from their own page.
I'm guessing this had something to do with the loop?

7,490 PointsHi Kevin, Thanks for your reply. I am aware of this and already have the pages created and set with templates as page-contact.php, page-about.php etc..
What I am trying to do is then pull these pages (along with their templates) into one long scrolling homepage.
So each page will be a section of the only page of the site but they all have different templates.
Currently I can only get it to pull the content of the pages but not the template layouts themselves. This video show me how to pull the pages but they are all set with the same template in content-page.php.
