<p>To add your own templates you can create a <a>Child Theme</a> and either create custom php template files like you would do on every other WordPress theme, or custom twig templates.
The template hierarchy of the twig files is the same as the <a>default WordPress templates structure</a>, simply by replacing the <code>.php</code> suffix with <code>.twig</code>.
You can keep your <code>.twig</code> files in the root of your child theme, or a <code>/views</code> folder if you want to keep things a little more organized.</p>
