I am completely new to working in Wordpress but have some skills in coding. My company has a website where we write about different publicly traded companies. I want to add company specific pages to the website. All the pages should look identical but contain information about the particular company that is viewed. I want to be able to create a template which can the be used for all companies. I want the urls to be mysite/company1, mysite/company2 and so on. I am sure this is an easy thing to do but I am so new to Wordpress that I do not even know what to search for to read about this. I would greatly appreciate if someone could provide some help and push me in the right direction.

Thank you!

• 1 What you're describing is a good use case for Custom Post Types. There's developer (i.e. coding) documentation on creating them here: developer.wordpress/plugins/post-types/… But if you're not a developer then there's plugins available for creating them. Just knowing the term "custom post type" should help you find a lot more resources on what you need though. – Jacob Peattie Commented Aug 25, 2020 at 15:16

?>

and choose it from menu while creating a new page:
