Template for custom post type

[mynameisbrendan]

Is there a way to expand the Hivepress template editor to custom post types / pages? If not, are there any supported template/page builder plugins that Hivepress recommend that are not known to have issues with listinghive theme?

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, you can customize templates using this feature: How to customize templates - HivePress Help Center. We also plan to add support for Elementor in future updates.

As for the themes, you can use any one you want, as long as there are no conflicts with the styles, but we can’t recommend a specific theme. Also, please let us know if you have tested any of the themes and they work correctly.

Thanks @andrii, sorry I should have explained better.

Can I add a custom post type as a template, e.g. Listings, Listings (Editing), CustomPostType, etc…

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, it is possible, but only if this HivePress template is made by our API: https://docs.hivepress.io/developer-docs/tutorials/create-a-custom-hivepress-extension

However, this requires advanced customization, so we recommend using listing categories (they are like listing types) or our other extensions (for example, Requests, where you can use the request post type for any other purpose, as its template can be customized) instead of creating new post types. Therefore, we do not recommend creating your own post type and infrastructure for it.

Thanks again @andrii, using another post type via one of the extensions is a great idea. I hadnt considered that I could use ‘requests’ for whatever I want as I can just rename the URL’s etc as required.
