Components CPT
TF has one built in CPT: Components. Components are for content blocks that are used via PHP to build custom pages. Keeping these out of WP Pages helps keep them off of sitemaps etc.
The Components code is in TF, but to enable it add this to the CHILD functions.php file:
add_action( ‘init’, ‘cpt_components’, 0 );
Configuration Notes
If something not right, reset permalinks
Disable Yoast SEO admin metabox in Yoast settings: Titles & Meta / Post Types

Disallow: *components*
Starter code for other CPTs
In the child theme the tf_child_cpt_example.php file has sample code for a CPT, with custom fields, and with a custom taxonomy. Copy it to another file and away you go.
Configuration Notes
The first time linking in the code, or when changing the “public” CPT parameter, reset permalinks
