I’ll build a strong template-parts/content/content.php for your RX Theme with many reusable WordPress features: post formats, thumbnails, meta, schema, excerpt/full content handling, pagination, tags, sharing hooks, ads/hooks, and accessibility-safe markup.

Below is a full advanced template-parts/content/content.php file for your RX Theme. It is built like a professional WordPress theme content template and includes many possible features while staying safe and extendable.

Example in index.php, archive.php, search.php, or home.php:

<?php

	while ( have_posts() ) :
		the_post();

		get_template_part( 'template-parts/content/content' );

	endwhile;

	the_posts_pagination(

			'next_text' => esc_html__( 'Next', 'rx-theme' ),
		)
	);
else :
	get_template_part( 'template-parts/content/content', 'none' );
endif;
?>

Important hooks included for future extension:

do_action( 'rx_theme_before_content_article', $post_id );
do_action( 'rx_theme_before_content_thumbnail', $post_id );
do_action( 'rx_theme_after_content_thumbnail', $post_id );
