Is it possible and how should it be done? My custom post appears and works fine, and i can customize its permalink page but the index page stays the same. I tried making a content-[posttype].php + single-[posttype].php along with amending the get_templatepart code for the single-[posttype].php filebut it didn’t have any affect on the appearance of the custom post type when viewd in the main index feed.
Change index feed appearance of custom post types for twentytwelve theme? (wordpress)
If you want to customise the Custom Post Type’s archive page then you will need to also create a template called
archive-[posttype].php, and in this, call thecontent-[posttype].phptemplate part that you have already created.For example if your Post Type is ‘movies’ then you would create
archive-movies.phpand in it call this (assumingcontent-movies.phpis already present):An invaluable reference when working out which template files to use for what is the ‘Official’ WordPress Template Hierarchy page in the codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
