About Custom Post Template
This plugin allows you to select different templates for your posts, similar to how you select templates for pages. However, it only affects the template used for single posts and not for listing pages like archives. Developers can also implement custom post templates for specific post types using the provided filter.Frequently asked questions
What does this plugin do?
This plugin provides a drop-down to select different templates for posts from the post edit screen. The templates are defined similarly to page templates, and will replace single.php for the specified post. This plugin will NOT switch the templates for the different posts in a listing page, e.g. a date or category archive, it will only affect the template used for single posts (i.e. you can choose a template which is not single.php).
How are post templates configured?
Post templates, as far as this plugin is concerned, are configured similarly to page templates in that they have a particular style of PHP comment at the top of them. Each post template must contain the following, or similar, at the top:nn<?phpn/*nTemplate Name Posts: Snarfern*/n?>nnFirst note: Page templates use 'Template Name:', whereas post templates use 'Template Name Posts:'.nnSecond note: You must have the custom post template files in your theme in the same directory/folder as your index.php template file, not in a sub-directory/sub-folder.
How can developers implement custom post templates on a custom post type?
If you want to implement the custom post templates on a custom post type, you can use the cpt_post_types filter. Here's an example below of adding the custom post template selector and metabox to the 'Movie' and 'Actor' custom post types. This code can be added to a plugin or to the functions.php file in your theme.nn/**n * Hooks the WP cpt_post_types filtern *n * @param array $post_types An array of post type names that the templates be used byn * @return array The array of post type names that the templates be used byn **/nfunction my_cpt_post_types( $post_types ) {n$post_types[] = 'movie';n$post_types[] = 'actor';nreturn $post_types;n}nadd_filter( 'cpt_post_types', 'my_cpt_post_types' );
