Automatically applying a template to a new post (CPT)

    Hello! I’m looking to apply some default content (ie. a saved template) to a new post of a specific custom post type automatically, allowing users to edit it afterwards. This would allow appropriate information to be displayed by default yet customizable to their needs. It doesn’t seem like the experimental Display Conditions can do that, and I’m also not seeing any way to programmatically do so.

    I understand help with customizations (if it’s not a core Elementor feature that I can’t find) is likely beyond the support that can be provided, but any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi, @brianhogg.

    Thanks for reaching out to us.

    Can you please elaborate further regarding the customizable portion of what you are trying to achieve? Can you provide an example of how a user would use this feature? This will allow us to better guide you towards a possible solution.

    Kind Regards.

    Hi @aracelil!

    I’m looking to make it so when someone edits a new page with Elementor of a certain post type, I can insert a template for them automatically. There is a template loading automatically in the block editor, but I’d like to replace this with an Elementor template when edited with Elementor. This will save the user from having to add a template manually and delete the block content added via the template parameter of register_post_type() .

    Is there is a way to insert a saved Elementor template automatically when the custom post type is first edited with Elementor, or even when a new post of a certain custom post type is created?
