Could someone elaborate on this please?

From my understanding so far:

  1. If you create a 'page-portfolio.php' template and have a 'portfolio' page in the admin these match up.
  2. If you create a custom post type and call it 'single-portfolio.php' then this will match up with your custom post type in your admin area.

I get that.

But what I don't understand in this video is how he's pulling off the featured images to the main 'page-portfolio.php'.

I'm assuming he's pulling it from the single-portfolio custom post type but I thought they were seperate?

All 'page-portfolio' content stays in that template and same with 'single-portfolio'.

Or is that from page-portfolio you can take data from the custom post type if you like?

Thanks!
