Creating Custom Post Types in WordPress

Hi everyone,

I want to add different types of posts to my WordPress site, each with its own design. I learned about "Custom Post Types" and how they can help. Right now, every post shows the author, date, and other standard info, but I’d like to hide some of this for certain categories.

I found a guide on WP Beginner (https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-custom-post-types-in-wordpress/), but I'm confused about how to create a custom template for these posts. Once I set up a custom post type, how can I make sure future posts in that category automatically use this template?

I want to create profiles for many people, like this page (https://www.wpbeginner.com/deals/), and individual profile pages like this one (https://www.wpbeginner.com/deals/siteground-coupon/). I also want to create a glossary page like this (https://www.wpbeginner.com/glossary/).

Any tips would be really helpful!
