Hi Steve,

As the site is a Custom built site, Each Template needs to be coded
specifically to look like the design, and call the specified ACF fields
which are created in the Dashboard area, and/or other data points (in the
case of ‘Template: Team’ it queries the Team Members). This means that when
a new Template is created in the ACF area of the dashboard it needs to be
assigned to a Page Template file which is created in the code files. Once
this page Template file is added to the code base then it becomes available
to assign to any page in the Edit Page dashboard.

Page templates can be reused for multiple pages, and when they are the ACF
fields can be customised to display data, through changing the fields in
the relevant Edit Page Dashboard. But in this Case the “Template: Team”
calls a couple ACF fields, to customize the text above the list of team
members, but the list of team members is querying team members assigned to
the category ‘research-consultants’, using code. This is why I would need
to go in and create a very similar Template to “Template: Team”, but edit
the code to query the new category that you have set up ‘research-fellows’
and display those team members instead. There is an option to add an ACF
field into the Template: Team which determines which category the list of
team members that is queried and shown (i.e an acf field to add either
‘research-consultants’ or ‘research-fellows’, amd use that value as the
Team Members query).

Customization regarding ACF templates is better done by us to stop the site
breaking, and to save our time when changes are needed. If you want to make
changes we can very easily do so, you just need to let us know what changes
you would like to be made, ACF fields can be added very quickly in the
backend immediately, but will need some time to add the code to the
relevant file in the code base before they show up in the front end of the
site.

I am happy to jump on a call and explain all this over zoom, and run
through editing pages/reusing any templates, just let me know and we can
set up a meeting.

In the meantime did you want me to add the customization to the Template:
Team which would allow you to customize the category which is queried for
the list of Team Members in this template (this will be good for future
reuse/customization of this template).

Thanks,
Joe
