I’ll build this as a strong WordPress theme template part for inc/template-parts/content-page.php, with safe fallbacks, accessibility, schema, page meta, featured image, pagination, child-page navigation, comments support, and hook points for future expansion.
Yes friend — in rx theme/inc/template-parts/content-page.php, you can make this file very powerful. This file should control single WordPress page content output, not global enqueue/cache/sitemap logic. WordPress officially supports reusable template parts with get_template_part(), and page/comment rendering can safely use template tags like the_content(), wp_link_pages(), and comments_template().
Replace your inc/template-parts/content-page.php with this advanced version:
<?php
/**
* Template part for displaying page content.
*
* File: inc/template-parts/content-page.php
*
* @package Rx_Theme
*/
defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;
global $post;
