Help ! POST SITE TEMPLATE for custom post type

I have used custom post type to create 1 module products. And I want to display the article on which product module with POST TEMPLATE SITE is STYLE 2. So I have to edit somewhere?
In Post setting have 6 style: Default, style 1-5 –> I’d just created Module Products SITE TEMPLATE there is POST STYLE 2

This is demo: http://www.screencast.com/t/xYlFqL6I
function Creat_custom_post_type()
{

$label = array(
‘name’ => ‘Products’,
‘singular_name’ => ‘Product’
);

$args = array(
‘labels’ => $label,
‘description’ => ‘Post type add product’,
‘supports’ => array(
‘title’,
‘editor’,
‘excerpt’,
‘author’,
‘thumbnail’,
‘comments’,
‘trackbacks’,
‘revisions’,
‘custom-fields’
),
‘taxonomies’ => array( ‘category’, ‘post_tag’ ),
‘hierarchical’ => false,
‘public’ => true,
‘show_ui’ => true,
‘show_in_menu’ => true,
‘show_in_nav_menus’ => true,
‘show_in_admin_bar’ => true,
‘menu_position’ => 5,

‘can_export’ => true,
‘has_archive’ => true,
‘exclude_from_search’ => false,
‘publicly_queryable’ => true,

}

Hello Emil G, CPTs are very necessary for running a multi topics blog. Why not publish a guide on it?

Many users like to know how to use CPTs in theme and it’s a core wordpress functionality too.

Thanks

Thanks Lucian. Can we give a little overview of using CPTs in this theme. How to make custom Post Template specifically to this theme. May be a short overview in this thread. Useful for many of us and upcoming customers too.

Thanks

Thanks Lucian. I do understand it. Just curious about it. If i have some useful information i would love to share it.

One Last Question. How can i copy a template and rename it for Custom Post Type. Like if i made a CPT Phones and assigned no template to it. It’s fetching the single.php builtin themes template. How can i copy single.php or loop-single.php….So that we can place that exact template in the child theme and made little modifications. and rename that to single-phones.php

Is it possible? And further, i know its out of topic. Just a general question.

Thanks a lot for your wonderful and timely support.

Regards

Thanks a lot Lucian. It’s really helpful for me but i was looking for a way to add Custom Post type Template only.

A Template that is called by a custom post type only not inside posts. I just need to copy single-loop-1.php for my Custom Post type “phones”. I will then add little shortcodes to that template.

Now if i copy the contents of single-loop-1.php to single-phone.php it’s not working. May be i can add in some different way so that it start working.

Thanks a lot.

This is really a shame. How can a recent theme not be built for custom post type and fields?
Can you refund the theme? I dont want to pay a developer for this whereas some theme enable it perfectly.

Thanks

Lucian

All this should not be done in the child theme??

Thanks a lot Lucian. @Carel tagDiv team is really very supportive and i think they will help you to fix any problems. And For tagDiv Team, please please guide us all how to implement a specific Template of Newspaper theme like single_template_1.php to a newly created Post Type Like “Books”.

So that we can make amendments to that template as our wish in the future. Thanks
In Short We want to Copy a template “Single_template_1” for our custom post type “Books”. So, that we can amend that template later and this doesn’t affect the original single_template_1. Because we will rename this template to single_template_books.php

I think you better understand what we want to achieve.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Lucian!
How to choose a fixed-post interface. For example, I would like Custom Post Type display template post is style 2 ?
http://screencast.com/t/rmqgnJpBSOWb

yeah Exactly the same question. Thanks @quangninhvn for screenshot. Thanks

Thanks Lucian. But whenever, I add the code of single-template-2.php to single-products.php it gives me a blank page. How are you adding the code. Can you paste the whole code of single-template-6 that you added to single-bk.php.

Thanks

Thanks…
But now we will have to do this all over again if we have a theme update 🙂

Awesome. Thank you for making this a thread. Also thanks Lucian for giving the support on it. (this is why you have over 7K sales – your work and support is AMAZING!)
