 * Hi Ali,
 * I can help you with this.
 * Let’s say your post type’s slug is `news_article`, you’d want to create a copy
   of the content.php file in your child theme and rename it to content-news_article.
   php. That template would then be used whenever someone views a single news article.
 * For the blog/archive page, you can copy content-archive.php into your child theme
   and rename it as content-archive-news_article.php.

 * Hi Ben
 * Thanks for this.
 * I have added the author child theme now and will contact your support team directly
   as I have since upgraded to extended support.
 * Thanks
 * Ali
