Creating single post and archive templates

Hi Michael,

I am currently building a website and its the first time I am dealing with CPT’s so your input is greatly appreciated here.

Basically I created a new custom post type called “hotels”. Now I would like to create a single post type template that will be specifically used with “hotels”. I know that I can copy the code from single.php as a base and create my custom single-hotels.php template.

My theme has some other CPT’s registered with the theme. Those are news, portfolio, team, etc. My question is, where exactly do I have to place my single-hotels.php file.

FYI- I am using a child theme.

Same thing goes to archives-hotels.php, where exactly do I need to put this file?

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Regards,
X
