 * Hi, I’m a long time oceanwp user, I’m happy to see you’re back with a new project.
   
   I created a plugin for my custom post type with my custom taxonomy. I used the‘
   single_template’ and ‘archive_template’ hooks to select my specific template 
   when rendering my custom posts. Here the (maybe dumb) question: is it possible
   with your theme and elementor (free version) to style visually the templates?
   I know you can do it with elementor pro.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcreate-a-cpt-template%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@albazeus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/albazeus/), glad to see
   you see and thanks for trying Olympus 🙏
    No questions are dumb, don’t worry 
   😊 For the archive page, it can be tricky but for the single page, yes you can
   use Elementor free version, if you don’t see the Edit with Elementor on your 
   single CPT pages, try to go to Elementor > Settings and check if your CPT is 
   on the Post Types options, if yes, check the box and tell me if it solves your
   issue?

 * There’s that option there, but this is for creating new custom posts. I need 
   to create a template with advanced custom fields, that will be used when the 
   user create a custom post. I don’t know if it’s clear what I’m trying to say.
   For now I am editing archive-${my_cpt_slug}.php with a text editor but I am very
   slow.

 * Hi, if you need to create advanced fields and you don’t really know how to do
   it, why you don’t try the Advanced Custom Fields plugin?
    It allows you to create
   any field you want and to easily place them. It could be a good solution.
