Look forward to the next video, I seem to be having a lot of difficulty getting custom page templates to work on Bricks, don't have this issue with Oxygen, probably just something simple that I'm not getting right.

Further to this I've actually got it all working now. I had not set the CPT to be publicly queryable, and even when I had I then needed to refresh the permalink settings to get it to display properly.

Yes, I noticed that one or two times as well that the permalinks needed to be resaved.

Hi. When you were creating the "field group" you typed "job" as the title. On the right side bar there is a field group ID that is required but if you leave it blank it defaults to what you entered into the title field. The Field Group ID must be unique because internally, MetaBox uses it as a slug but since you also used "job" for the post type slug, that created a problem. That's why when you changed the post type slug to "our-job" the error went away. You also named the custom table name "job" but you got away with it because you set "add table prefix" so that changed the table name internally. You really should get into the habit of using a naming convention that helps identify its use case. There are a lot of unique name requirements in WordPress so these problems often occur when you don't use strict naming conventions.

That's a good point. Thanks for pointing that out.

Really hard to follow with all the errors you run into.

Thanks @tomerhelzer, I'll consider an updated video the next time I create an "available jobs" CPT.
