I’ll build this as a full-featured WordPress theme template part for template-parts/content/content-page.php, focused on safe theme functions, accessibility, SEO markup, pagination, edit links, comments support, featured image, breadcrumbs hook compatibility, schema-friendly structure, and extension hooks.
Yes friend — for rx-theme/template-parts/content/content-page.php, you can make it very powerful. This file should mainly display page content, not register theme features. So I added many safe frontend functions: accessibility, schema markup, featured image, page meta, breadcrumbs hook, reading time hook compatibility, share hooks, table of contents hook area, child-page section hook, comments support, edit link, multipage pagination, password-protected handling, and many custom action/filter hooks.
WordPress template parts are designed for reusable theme sections, and functions like the_content(), wp_link_pages(), post_class(), the_post_thumbnail(), and edit_post_link() are standard theme-template tools.
Create this file:
rx-theme/template-parts/content/content-page.phpThen paste this full code:
<?php
/**
* Template part for displaying single Page content.
*
* File: template-parts/content/content-page.php
*
* This file is intentionally advanced but safe:
* - Semantic HTML5 article structure
* - Accessibility-ready skip anchors and ARIA labels
* - Schema.org WebPage / Article-like microdata
* - Featured image support
* - Breadcrumb hook support
* - Reading-time hook support
* - Page meta support
* - Multipage pagination
* - Password protected page handling
* - Comments support
* - Edit link
* - Child page / related content hook areas
* - Social share hook area
* - Table of contents hook area
* - Multiple WordPress filters/actions for future expansion
