How do I create new content pages for my Custom Post Type?

by

I am using Underscores starter theme and I’ve created a custom post type video.

$args = array(
    'label'                 => __( 'Video', 'text_domain' ),
    'description'           => __( 'Videos', 'text_domain' ),
    'labels'                => $labels,
    'supports'              => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'custom-fields', ),
    'taxonomies'            => array( 'category', 'post_tag' ),
    'hierarchical'          => false,
    'public'                => true,
    'show_ui'               => true,
    'show_in_menu'          => true,
    'menu_position'         => 5,
    'menu_icon'             => 'dashicons-video-alt2',
    'show_in_admin_bar'     => true,
    'show_in_nav_menus'     => true,
    'can_export'            => true,
    'has_archive'           => true,
    'exclude_from_search'   => false,
    'publicly_queryable'    => true,
    'capability_type'       => 'post',
);
register_post_type( 'video', $args );

I am able to display the latest posts from video on the homepage (which is a custom page template) but when I visit the video link, I get Oops! That page can’t be found!

I’ve created a new file single-video.php and inside I’m getting the video template

get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'video' );

I’ve also created another file content-video.php which lives inside template-parts folder and is the copy of the original content.php file

But it’s not working, I’m still getting Page Not Found when I visit the video url.
