WordPress How to Make a Website with WordPress Custom Post Types and Fields in WordPress Setting Up Custom Post Types and Fields

When I create a custom post type and post to it, I get the "Oops! That page can’t be found" message when I view it. Why?

I used the Custom Post Type UI and Advanced Custom Fields plugins as instructed in the videos. I did noticed that I get a regular field for entering posts into like normal between the title and the custom posts, which I did not see in the video, but I'm not sure if that's related as I'm just trying to learn all of this.

Have you set up the template files for your archive-{post type}.php and single-{post type}.php files in your theme?

When you create Custom Post Types in WordPress, you have to create specific template files for them to display within your theme. See more in the Codex.
