Template hierarchy and customization

How can I make custom template files for specific categories or pages with eStar?

I am referring to the WordPress template hierarchy here: https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/

I usually don’t have an issue with it on other themes I’ve tried, but eStar (although lovely) has so many template parts it’s making me quite lost.

I am looking to make things along the line of page-{slug}.php, single-{post-type}.php, archive-{post_type}.php, category-{slug}.php, and tag-{slug}.php…

Right now I am accomplishing something similar – but very poorly – with a child theme and a lot of conditional statements. 👀🙈

I feel it should be easier to accomplish. Am I missing something?
Can you please help point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Hi @iu7489

Thanks for your question.

We realize this is also a problem we have to resolve in future updates.

First at all, I’ll for example guide you to create custom template for category. Create category-{slug}.php and copy the entire contents of archive.php file (template-part/archive.php)


<?php
get_header();
?>

<main class="main" role="main">
	<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
		<?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/archive-header' ); ?>

		<div class="entries abcdef">
			<?php
			while ( have_posts() ) {
				the_post();

				$layout = get_theme_mod( 'archive_content_layout', 'list-horizontal' );
				$layout = in_array( $layout, ['grid', 'grid-card'], true ) ? 'grid' : 'list';
				get_template_part( 'template-parts/content/archive', $layout );
			}
			?>
		</div>

		<?php the_posts_pagination(); ?>
	<?php else : ?>
		<?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/content/none' ); ?>
	<?php endif; ?>
</main>

<?php
get_sidebar();
get_footer();
