    I have a question,

    I am customising Altitude Pro, and I want to have the same parallax effect as the front page on the inner pages and I have followed the relevant section of this great tutorial https://www.easywebdesigntutorials.com/customizing-altitude-pro-genesis-child-theme/ which gives a way of reproducing the front page template to use as an inner page template. The front page widget areas are reproduced as "inner" widget areas. So far so good, but, because the pages use the same template, the background images for the "inner" widgets are used across all the "inner" pages.
    I would like to use different background images per page. Does this mean I have to make a separate template per page, therefore adding a pile of widget areas?

    Will this slow the site down?

    Many thanks for any help on this matter, or guidance towards a different solution.

    Unless you are using a caching tool, every page on a WordPress site generates on the fly when accessed from a browser. So in terms of slowing the site down, no. But there's a lot more work involved with changing the background images on every page than just copying the front-page.php template and using it as a standard page template. You would have to edit customize.php and output.php to add and insert the different images into the new widget areas. You define the widget areas in functions.php and display them in the individual page templates. Functions in the page templates need to be renamed so there are no conflicts. You would also have to apply home.js to each of the individual page templates. It could take the better part of a day to get everything working the way you want it to. Good luck with this.

    Thank you for taking the time to reply Victor,

    Yes, I understand the extra work involved and have already done that for an inner page template, I was wondering if there was an easier solution for multiple pages.
    I guess not! Better just get on with it then!

    Regards
