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.

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

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.

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

Very very thanks for your
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 YouTube channel will grow more as nobody has ever made such a site free from any type of payment.
