Hi,
Can you clarify the problem you are running into? I just created a custom page and added custom content to it all via studio. Perhaps we are doing it differently?
Hi Sean,
Thanks for your response. I am able to add Custom Content components to the custom page type, however I do not know how to populate that custom content. Since the custom content is controlled via the community structure, and the custom page type is outside of the community structure, I see no way to populate the Custom Content X components that are on the page.

Ah, those are defined in Admin. Do you have access?
Admin->Content->Custom Content

Yes, I do have access, but the problem is that the custom page type does not live in the community structure, so you cannot edit custom content for it.
To see what I am talking about, follow these steps.
- Login to Studio
- Click Page -> New
- Give the new page a name (e.g. MyTestPage) and click Create
- Click the X to close the popup
- Add Custom Content 1 to the layout (select Custom Content -> Custom Content 1) from the Components list
- Save the page
- Navigate to the page (/t5/custom/page/page-id/MyTestPage)
- Notice that there is no content in the Custom Content 1 component
I want to know how I can populate that Custom Content 1 component on that custom page. My theory is that since the custom page is not within the community structure, you cannot navigate to it via Admin, which means you cannot populate the Custom Content 1 component on that page. I will be thrilled if someone can disprove my theory.

Hmmmm. that is very strange because that is exactly what I did and my custom content does show in my custom page.
