lol, but it's fun, and not too messy unless you mess up some code in functions..
is there a WP theme similar style to Maddos for free
You don't even need custom post types. Make a child for an existing theme, add a home.php, maybe edit archive.php single.php and add page.php if necessary. Use custom fields which you can create by simply adding them in a post unless you want to get fancy and add meta boxes to your functions.php. Add or adjust any styling that you want. Done.
If you want the ability to change options, add an area and fields to the customizer. Since it's your theme and you know which setting you want, this isn't even necessary.

True, there are a few ways to do it, you don't even need custom fields if you really don't want to use those.HeidiHoe wrote: ↑June 20th, 2021, 3:42 pmYou don't even need custom post types.

I'll just make one and call it 'nice-dos'.
Hell, this damn near is getting me motivated to add a site review area to my existing blogs. I'm already using child themes as it is. Using CPT, archive-review.php with some masonry, single-review.php with screenshots, add sponsor sites via CVS import.Colmike7 wrote: ↑June 20th, 2021, 4:14 pmTrue, there are a few ways to do it, you don't even need custom fields if you really don't want to use those.HeidiHoe wrote: ↑June 20th, 2021, 3:42 pmYou don't even need custom post types.

@ Delia
ask to see if any here have a saved copy of the download or if they will share their theme with you.
