[GP Beta] generate_do_template_part does not call the content

Looking into the function code, it seems it does not handle CPTs ? There's only one parameter.

Should I keep using get_template_part() for CPTs ?

Hi there,

Tom provides an example here:

https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/question-about-gp-3-0-and-generate_do_template_part/#post-1429909

The CPT would of course need to be built upon the GP template for the function to exist.

I saw that but didn't understand, now I think I do.

I can either :

- keep using get_template_part within child theme templates as default wordpress behavior

or

- use generate_do_template_part, remove the child theme templates and use a add_action( 'generate_before_do_template_part', function...) which would check the post_type and displays information accordingly

Using the later opens up possibilities of calling those from Elements and other places in the code. Did I get this right ?

Thanks

Exactly! There's nothing wrong with keeping the core get_template_part() if you're already using a child theme.

generate_do_template_part() simply allows for a way to remove the default get_template_part() and add your own loop item without the need for a child theme template :)
