design template for multiple pages/posts

Hello Tom
New user as far as GP is concerned. Migrating from Headway. Looked through your knowledge base and the forum for relevant answer and could not find one. Quite probably simple.
How does one create design templates that apply across multiple pages/post/custom post types? Eg different product types.
Thanks.
Hi there,
You would use a child theme along with custom page templates: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/page-templates/
For products/post types, you would do the same but the file name needs to be specific to the post type: https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Type_Templates
The starting point is to grab a GP template (page.php for example), copy it to your child theme and change the file name/add the page template tag at the top.
Then you're free to build your template.
Let me know if you need more info :)
