[Resolved] CUSTOM ARCHIVE.PHP and CONTENT.php

[FunkyCss]

Hello There,

I remember in older versions Generatepress had the get_template_part( content, etc.. )

Now I notice that is tottaly different and I am really confused how it actually works? ( generate_do_template_part( ‘archive’ ); )

What I need to do is

To create a CPT of displaying archives ( Created a custom taxonomy and copied the archives.php )

Now I need to customise the loop content of this CPT by copy the content.php and renaming products-content.php

I believe I am right till here.

The issue is that I dont understand where to hook that products-content.php as the templating is a bit different.

Hi there,

in your custom archive template you can switch this line:

https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/2c7c8a76d3b58b0b97e82b3a7a5ebf022a1ddfbe/archive.php#L40

to:

get_template_part( 'content', 'your-cpt-content-slug' );

Hi David,

Yes this is with the old way and it actually works.

I am curious tho how works the new one, there is any documentation for this ? Just curious

Thank you once again.

Its just a custom function.
So you can leave it as is for example:

generate_do_template_part( 'your-cpt-content-slug' );

It will return exactly this:

get_template_part( 'content', 'your-cpt-content-slug' );

Hello,
I think I’m in the same case as FunkyCss but with standard WP categories: I need to make a custom html markup for the post in archive (or category) but I don’t quite understand how I have to do it.
Could you explain me wich is the .php file I must edit or create?

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

are you wanting to modify the HTML of the standard archive pages ? Or is it for a specific post type or taxonomy or… ?

[Alberto]

Hi David
Thank you for replying.
It’s for standard archive pages. In fact, for standard category.

Hi Alberto,

Take a copy of content.php file from the parent theme, paste it into your child theme folder, then you can edit the file in the child theme.
