I have installed the Meta Morph template
I see several page types
com_content
com_contact
com_search
How do I add new pages thru the admin section based on these page types?
I also would like to link back to the referring page and home

- Those are just components. You don't add new pages/articles to Contact and Search...
- Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.
A template is only as good as the content that goes into it

To add a component or a plugin or a template, go to Extensions then to Install/Uninstall, then use the Upload Package File if the zip or tgz file is on your computer's hard drive. Then you will see the component appear under the Components menu item or the plugin or template under the Extensions menu item. You can configure them from there.
The template used by the component will be the same as the default template that you set for the website. With the new Gantry framework templates, you can assign a template to a specific component more easily than you could using the older templates.
You'll also need to set up a menu item for the component to be accessible by visitors to the website.
Hope that helps.

you can create a new link to
com_content by creating a new menu item with menu item type = internal link (article, blog layout etc)
com_contact by creating a new menu item with menu item type = contacts (contact category or standard contact)
com_search by creating a new menu item with menu item type = search (search layout)
you can find more info here in the joomla docs:
docs.joomla.org/Screen.menus.edit.15#Menu_Item_Types
hope this helps, kat
