How to Work with Custom WordPress Page Templates with Custom Post Types & Custom Fields

In this tutorial, you are going to learn how to create a full custom WordPress page template using custom post types and custom fields.
We shall be creating a custom post type called Movie and also a custom taxonomy titled Genre. We shall also create 3 custom fields attached to this custom post type for displaying different types of content.
We will then proceed to create a custom page template for displaying the excerpts of our movies and then finally proceed to create a another page template for displaying all the contents of each individual movie review.

What do you guys think about more advanced topics like this?

[@gambomaster]

How about WordPress Plugin Development series? 🙂

[@TheWebMonkey]

@@gambomaster Great idea !!!

[@yaqubajgori1199]

More advanced topics would be awesome...

[@saifurrehman6756]

before the advance topics, what about the basics of php?

[@TheWebMonkey]

@@saifurrehman6756 Okay. I will make a video for this.

[@RicardoIvanov]

I'm from Brazil and I could learn a lot with your tutorials. You are amazing! Another subscriber :)

[@TheWebMonkey]

Obrigado Ricardo :-)

[@nitovkolivanovmeus199]

I don't speak English and I don't know anything about php but I manage to understand what should be very difficult for a non-English speaker. You take your time to make yourself understood, you detail everything, I manage to reproduce it in a test and count on applying it on my blog to make it more professional and I would like you to make another video in which you show how to Add Categories and Tags anywhere in the single-movie.php page And open on a archive page all the post that associated to a specific category or tags when clicking

Thanks for the video .... I've always had a hard time wrapping my head around Custom Post Types and Templates. Would like to see using these with Elementor too.

[@TheWebMonkey]

Okay. I am working on one at the moment.

[@Elsteck]

That is an awesome tutorial! So clear! Thank you!

[@haidangquang867]

unbelievable, I used "the_title();". On the frond end, It just show "movie" NOT show "A Quite Place 2". Help me please Sir.

[@Kryzbordallo]

Hey, amazing tutorial! Congrats from Brazil

[@TheWebMonkey]

Thank you Cristina

[@astratow]

Working with notepad++... Top man! Vim next?

[@mustaa34]

this is exactly what i need. thanks a lotttt

[@HaifengZhu-pn3uq]

I don't want custom fields on my posts, does it mean that ACF is unnecessary for me?

[@HaifengZhu-pn3uq]

hi, is there training program on basic php for wordpress?

[@aioea]

Very helpful! I wonder how to add a featured post in a custom post type. :)

[@dhirendrakumarrai2375]

Can you make a video on this topic : How to full backup of cpanel and restore on another hosting...??

[@michaelfoerster3364]

Awesome tutorial, super clear - thanks! I am wondering if there is intellisense support for wordpress methods in notepad++.....?

[@TheWebMonkey]

Hmmm I am not sure. I do know that Brackets does have some support for WordPress intellisense though.

[@darouss1]

why this page can't be edited in Elementor? BTW, excellent video

[@MohammedMotazHasnawi]

i put that code but it doesn't visible at Page Attributes as template , why? any body can help me?

[@programmingwithtayyab4486]

Great sir and Thanks

[@nakriviraacademy]

Very very thanks for your knowledge..... Please can you teach to make a directory listing classified ecommerce website in WordPress without coding. The real fun will be when the site will be absolutely free of cost. If you make such a website, I hope your KZbin channel will grow more as nobody has ever made such a site free from any type of payment.

[@TheWebMonkey]

Maybe at some point I will take a look at this.

[@razin275]

Thanks sir this was helpful

[@saifurrehman6756]

Great tutorial Alex. However, I am thrilled to know why append and prepend did not work automatically?

[@TheWebMonkey]

What do you mean?

[@saifurrehman6756]

@@TheWebMonkey! You added "$" and "Million" in the append and prepend section but then you manually write these in the HTML tag. So, my point is, why do we need to write that manually when we already specify the append and prepend?

[@TheWebMonkey]

@@saifurrehman6756 oh that's because the append and prepend text only shows up in the backend when adding content to the custom fields. The custom fields plugin wasn't designed to output the actual text on the front end. This is why I had to manually output them.

[@saifurrehman6756]

Got it. Thanks @@TheWebMonkey

[@gambomaster]

Thank you sir. 👍

[@mahdikaaniche9986]

[@fafamiggy]

[@tomhansen636]
