Hello,

I recently recovered an old site that used Toolset Types version 1.0.4 and managed to update to the latest version 3.4.17 . Although all the post types were restored, I get the following Theme and Archive front end errors in the toolset panel for various post types created: "Theme’s template file single php for displaying items is missing custom field " and "Archive’s template file archive php for displaying items is missing custom field" .

For what I understand this allows me to display in the front end the information of such post types, but how does this work exactly, do I need to create a new theme or archive to display it or is there a way to rescue this? I'm afraid to mess things up from what was on the backup site. Please advice.

By the way, I'm new to Toolset Types and this restored site I'm recovering is something I'm just getting to know.

Thanks.

Hi there,

The messages show that you do not have specific content templates for the items added with Toolset. That is not a problem of old to new version and if you had new version you would see the warnings.

Please consider that Toolset adds extra stuff such as Custom Posts and Custom Fields and to show them you need to use Toolset specific views.

Here is how to add an archive template for your custom post types:

Here is how to add single content templates for individual custom post type items:

I suggest that you take your time and check the course below which shows you how to add a real estate website:

I know it is long but it will give you all the necessary information in an easy to follow manner to understand all the details on what to do for your website.

Thanks.
