[Resolved] change content of archive custom post type

[David]

Hello

I’ve set up a new custom post type called team.

I’ve then created a archive-team.php page and put that in the child theme – I’m then looking at changing the layout of the archive team page so have copied over the content page and renamed it content-team.php and put in to child theme folder.

When I make any changes to the content-team.php page though, nothing changes!

Please help.

Thanks
Dave

Hi there,

In your archive-team.php file, replace this line: https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/2.2.2/archive.php#L42

With this:

get_template_part( 'content', 'team' );

Let me know if that helps or not 🙂

[David]

Great, thanks – how can I get the team custom posts to show in descending order?

Thanks
Dave

You could try something like this:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', function( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_main_query() && ! is_admin() ) {
        if ( $query->is_post_type_archive( 'team' ) ) {
            $query->set( 'order', 'DESC' ); 
        }       
    }
} );

Thanks Tom

Hi Tom

What file would I need to copy across to edit this page…
http://185.20.51.60/~skyworldco/team/chris-beer/

I’ve sorted the archive page http://185.20.51.60/~skyworldco/team/chris-beer/

Thanks
Dave

That’s the single.php file 🙂

[David]

So how would I go about making this appear in 2 columns? so the featured image is to the left?

I can’t see the code for this in single.php

[Tom]

The featured image is hooked into the template, so you would have to disable the featured image and then add it manually to the template.

What kind of layout are you going for? Any examples of what you want vs what you have?

Trying to create this…

Haven’t thought about how to do the pop up yet, just trying to get the layout of the team member correct.

Thanks
Dave

[Tom]

And what do you have so far? Will you end up adding it as a popup?

[David]

I have this so far…

Yes the aim is to get it to open in a pop up once I’ve got the layout sorted

Thanks
Dave

You could try this CSS:

.single-team .featured-image {
    float: left;
    max-width: 50%;
    margin-right: 2em;
}

.single-team .entry-content {
    overflow: hidden;
}

Hi Tom

How do I add this class… class=”modal-link iframe” to the href tag on the images of the archive for my team page…

Thanks
Dave

[Tom]

How are you adding those images? the_post_thumbnail()?
