      Hello-

      I would like to create a custom post type template that I can use for
      courses on my elearning site. I am accustomed to creating and adding
      custom wordpress templates using php – for example <?php get_header(); etc…

      It appears that epik templates are all created using action hooks in
      genesis so I am a little confused. And in epik when I create a post
      there is no option to select the proper template to be used on the right side.

      Can you help? Is their documentation on this?

      Thanks

        Epik works just like all other Genesis child themes, so to create a page template will be the same process. If you create a page template properly then it should show up on the right side of the of the “Page” (not Posts) editor. Page templates only work with Pages, so if you’re creating a “Post” then you won’t see that option. Here is an article on how it works – http://bit.ly/LUXEz0

          Thanks Eric-

          Its actually for a post not a page. I am using LearnDash plugin to create courses and lessons and those are created as posts. My goal is to have a specific template just for a course page – separate from the general single Blog post template. I want to add instructor profile ,sharing information etc on all my “course” posts but obviously not on my general single Blog post.

          Thanks

            I haven’t seen a way to create Post templates with the ability to select different templates (like Page templates). If I come across something I’ll share it here.
