WordPress How to Make a Website with WordPress Custom Post Types and Fields in WordPress Custom Post Type Templates

.php files missing on my installation

this indicates that 3 new files are created after creating the custom post type page and populating it. I have followed along with my own site on a local machine so the only thing I haven't done is download from a remote server because I don't need to. These 3 .php files are not in my child theme folder like in the example and I can't find them anywhere within the local WP site.

Barry Maloney, I don't believe that stock WordPress generates template files for you. I the video, Zac Gordon, is talk about the files available in the project downloads. If you haven't already, you can download them using the project files download link to the right of the video.

Thanks Andrew. I'm afraid I don't see any project files to download though. The only thing under downloads is the video itself so you can view offline.
