[Resolved] Create custom template for pages which includes sections options / using templat

I’m doing this course. It talks about creating custom templates for CPT and throwing them in a plugin.

https://www.lynda.com/WordPress-tutorials/WordPress-Custom-Post-Types-Taxonomies/2212269-2.html

My question goes back to can i somehow retain the look and functionality of GP (add page header, use sections) by duplicating the corresponding GP php template that pulls in the sections features for pages?

Thanks for your help in pointing me in the right GP file direction if this is possible.

Yes and no. Basically I’d like to have the options available from GP premium (sections, etc) be available in a CPT template possibly by me duplicating the template file that GP pages uses? I realize it’s going to be a challenge.

CPT name = ambassadors
Add new ambassador

I copy over GP page.php from parent theme into the child theme.

I rename it single-(my custom post type name).php
Hence;
single-ambassadors.php

Get template parts:
I create a folder structure in the child theme to match the GP parent theme adding get template part php pages as needed. Add ‘ambassadors’ to correspond php pages that i want to customize (such as removing author, date below title).

I realize this is a support ticket area, not a customization forum. If I’m headed in the right direction though please let me know. Possibly the way to go is via GB function hooks and use conditionals. If this totally wouldn’t work please let me know.

All that said, if this is beyond the scope of what you can offer here or too complex to explain I respectfully understand. I’m just trying to push the envelope of what I can accomplish with GP and create a product for launch for which I’ve invested two years of my life into.

Sincere thanks for the plugin link. Interesting plugin. Will download and try it out either way.

Sincerely,
Brad
