    Hi there !

    Please see this link to see what I would like to achieve.

    Please pay attention to point #3 and point #4.

    Which template should I use? Any cool recommendations? 🙂

    Looking forward to your input,

    Kind Regards,

    You dont need to use a template as such.

    For chalets set up as a category and use a custom slug /aspen/chalets

    For chalet-name just create a post and assign the above category to it.

    That will do the job, however If you are planning to use other post formats you should consider creating a custom post type set up.

    Thank you Neil,

    I did not know that categories accepted a custom slug and I will give it a try 🙂

    Is this how the following website achieves its hierarchy?

    Once again,
    Thank you for your input!

    Actually better just to set up a category hierarchy menu so set up as aspen as a category and chalets as a category with aspen as its parent - then you don't need custom slugs and works better in structure

    Currently,

    I have a page on the website:

    page-aspen.php - where I have removed the loop and added my custom HTML [resort description, weather/snow forecast/etc...]

    Would it be possible to set up aspen as a category and in the category-aspen.php page remove the loop and add my custom HTML?

    I hope I am not wasting too much of your time.
