Insert custom fields to a custom post type

Question

I am creating a small blog about my trekking and camping experience. Since different experiences - like campsites, treks and tour operators - have different metadata, I have created a custom post types (e.g. campsite), associated with custom field types (e.g. price, water_supply).

Now I'm trying to use these fields in my child theme. I've copied twenty-twelve - the parent - single.php to single-campsite.php, and started digging in.

The problem is that the entire post content - title, content, and date - is created from this single line:

<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>

How do I edit the post internals, e.g. insert custom fields between the title and the contents, or remove the date below?

Answer 1

That statement grabs a file called content-post-format.php in the theme directory, depending on the post format. Posts will grab content.php since there is no post format.

Copy the information out of content.php into single-campsite.php and go from there. Alternatively, you can create a copy of content.php called content-campsite.php and call:

<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'campsite' ); ?>
