Hello.
I must develop a website where I must use custom post types and custom fields. The goal is that in the frontend I can display the information provided (in the backend) with a file template (archive) designed by me and with a page template also designed by me.

I love the Generatepress + Elementor combination to build my websites, so I wanted to ask you what you think is the best option to create both the files templates (archives) and the page templates.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

This resource should be super useful: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/

Hello Tom!

Tanks a lot for your suggestion!, as you say is very useful.

Regarding GeneratePress theme, I'm working with a child theme and I want a single use template so, I suppose I must create a file starting from... both your page.php and your content-page.php files?, (is that the better choice?) and rename them as page-{slug}.php and content-page-{slug}.php?

What about archives?, Must I start from archive.php?

BTW do you use some kind of tool for making the templates or you just code directly?

Thanks a lot, Tom!

Alberto.

Exactly - you got it :)

I use Atom, which is a file editor built by GitHub.
