Hi,
I’m testing GP 3.0 Beta which is great so far. However I have a problem that I can’t figure out.
I’ve a CPT ‘formation’.
In single-formation.php, if I have the line
get_template_part( 'content', 'formation' );it displays the content as in 2.7
If I replace the line with :
generate_do_template_part( 'content', 'formation' );It shows nothing.
What Am I doing wrong ?
Thanks
Looking into the function code, it seems it does not handle CPTs ? There’s only one parameter.
Should I keep using get_template_part() for CPTs ?

Hi there,
Tom provides an example here:
The CPT would of course need to be built upon the GP template for the function to exist.
I saw that but didn’t understand, now I think I do.
I can either :
– keep using get_template_part within child theme templates as default wordpress behavior
or
– use generate_do_template_part, remove the child theme templates and use a add_action( ‘generate_before_do_template_part’, function…) which would check the post_type and displays information accordingly
Using the later opens up possibilities of calling those from Elements and other places in the code. Did I get this right ?
Thanks

Exactly! There’s nothing wrong with keeping the core
get_template_part()if you’re already using a child theme.generate_do_template_part()simply allows for a way to remove the defaultget_template_part()and add your own loop item without the need for a child theme template 🙂
