   All good but it breaks the default single.php.

   In other words this „On the other hand, if you filed a post in a category and didn’t create a template for that category, then WordPress will fallback to the default single.php template of your theme.“ is not working.

   Any solution?

     You may need to reach out to your theme’s support to ensure there isn’t a different template that you are running into. For understanding what we mean you may want to take a look at our article below:

   Hi, I am trying to follow the step:
   Open the single.php file and then copy everything after the get_header() line.

   However, I don’t have any „get_header()“ function in that file.

   Thanks for this. All my auto generated files (author, not found etc) are using my site template then putting a white section with white text on thepage. its also starting at the top of the page (so its white text on a white background mostly hidden behind a page header)

   I believe your article will help me sort this mess out.

   Am I correct in thinking that once you create a custom post template php file, for it to work as a template, you still need to code the php file, as there is no way to save a new post as a template. Is this correct?

   Thank you for your help.

   Antworten

   • WPBeginner Support

     That is correct, for changing the template unless you are using a page builder there is not a method to set it up without coding.

    However, I’m finding the following warning in my error logs around this code:

    [warn] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant SINGLE_PATH – assumed ‚SINGLE_PATH‘ (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP)

    Your snippet starts with „define(SINGLE_PATH,…“ so I’m not sure what else to do here.

      That error is saying it wants SINGLE_PATH to be surrounded by single quotes (“) which you can do for that warning

    Antworten

    • WPBeginner Support

      If you wanted to edit the default single.php file then you would first want to create a child theme: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-create-a-wordpress-child-theme-video/
      and then you could edit your single.php file without worrying about the changes being removed when you create your own single.php.

    Hi,

    I am overthinking this but…if I want every blog post to look the same, do I just create the Layout (I use Divi theme), use the above first method (make a new version of single.php named properly) and choose that every time I want to create a post? That simple?

    Also, to add the custom CSS, do you add to the php file, and how? Where within it do you add it? How should it look? That’s the part that I haven’t yet found any reference on how to do. Can you do an example based on just having every blog post look one way?

    Thank

    Antworten

    • WPBeginner Support

      Blog posts should use the single.php by default and look the same that way but you can create a custom post template if you wanted to modify the look. For custom CSS you would want to take a look at our article here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-easily-add-custom-css-to-your-wordpress-site/

    Need some additional help with this…

    Following the instructions on this page (along with the small modifications noted within my comments on 12/2/17 and 12/12/17), I’ve been able to get this working reliably.

    HOWEVER, I’ve run into the issue where using this method to call a custom template does not seem to get registered with the call of body_class classes.

    For example, if I set a custom template on a page (where I’m using WordPress‘ „Template“ drop-down within the „Page Attributes“ sidebar in the editing view – then the body_classes that are output would include that template name.

    Such as:

    <body class="page-template-my_custom_template page page-id-2..."

    But, using this method, the body classes just return:

    <body class="page-template-default page page-id-2..."

    Any idea on how to ensure the body classes reflect a custom single post template?

    Antworten

    • Mike

      Here’s the answer (for my theme, at least – your experience may vary).

      Adding the following to [b]functions.php[/b] did the trick for me:

      add_filter('body_class','add_category_to_single');
        function add_category_to_single($classes) {
          if (is_single() ) {
            global $post;
            foreach((get_the_category($post->ID)) as $category) {
              // add category slug to the $classes array, starting with 'category-'...
              $classes[] = "category-$category->category_nicename";
            }
          }
          // return the $classes array
          return $classes;
        }

    When using this approach to specify a custom post template for a single post within a specific category, I was finding that WordPress was NOT defaulting back to single.php in instances where a single-cat-WHATEVER.php file didn’t exist for a specific category.

    I fixed this by adding the following line before the end of the function:

    else
return SINGLE_PATH . '/single.php';

    So that, this code:

    
/**
* Checks for single template by category
* Check by category slug and ID
*/
foreach((array)get_the_category() as $cat) :

    if(file_exists(SINGLE_PATH . '/single-cat-' . $cat->slug . '.php'))
    return SINGLE_PATH . '/single-cat-' . $cat->slug . '.php';

    elseif(file_exists(SINGLE_PATH . '/single-cat-' . $cat->term_id . '.php'))
    return SINGLE_PATH . '/single-cat-' . $cat->term_id . '.php';

    endforeach;
}


    Became this:

    
/**
* Checks for single template by category
* Check by category slug and ID
*/
foreach((array)get_the_category() as $cat) :

    if(file_exists(SINGLE_PATH . '/single-cat-' . $cat->slug . '.php'))
    return SINGLE_PATH . '/single-cat-' . $cat->slug . '.php';

    elseif(file_exists(SINGLE_PATH . '/single-cat-' . $cat->term_id . '.php'))
    return SINGLE_PATH . '/single-cat-' . $cat->term_id . '.php';

    else
    return SINGLE_PATH . '/single.php';

    endforeach;
}


    Does this seem like the right approach? Or, is there something else that I may have done to break the default functionality?

    Antworten

29. Mike

    Thank you for this clear ‚how to.‘

    One note: for those of us using a CHILD THEME, I’ve found that changing…

    define(SINGLE_PATH, TEMPLATEPATH . ‚/single‘);

    to:

    define(SINGLE_PATH, get_stylesheet_directory() . ‚/single‘);

    (within the „Define a constant path to our single template folder“ section) ensures that child theme’s directory is checked for single templates instead of the parent theme’s directory.

    This may also be the reason that it’s not working for some of the other commenters above.

    Good luck, everyone!

    Hi! Thank you for this tutorial, but I’m quite new to web design and I started creating a whole wordpress theme. Everything works fine on my website, but I am trying to make it possible to add pages that all use a template I created, (like the page of a product in a catalogue) but I have no idea how to do that. I first tried to do so by creating a page template in which I put loops that display the content of an article or a page, such as its title, its text and the values of some custom fields. To do so I used a query_posts, but it requires to put the post’s or page’s id with „page_id=“ or „p=“, which means the template is for one specific page, and I would have to create a template for each new page I add to this catalogue , and precising the id of the page/post manually in it, while what I wanted was to create a single template for all the pages of the catalogue…
    So while doing my research to find a solution, I found your article, and I tried to create a post using the new single post template, but no matter which template I select in the list, when I go to the url of the post it displays my home page… I’m probably doing everything wrong, and I’m not even sure I understood what a single post is and if it’s really what I need… I would really appreciate it if you could give me some clues on what I should do to solve my problem, or if there’s some tutorial somewhere that could help me…
    Thank you,

    Pierrick.

      Hi Pierrick,

      We are not sure we understand your problem completely. However, if you just want to create a template to be used by any page then custom page template is the right approach. Since you want users to be able to see any page, this means you don’t need to use query_posts, your loop will begin with the standard

      <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
      //
      		// Post Content here
      		//
      	} // end while
      } // end if
      ?>

    I have set this up to work with categories, however when I select a post that does not have a category it fails to pick up the default template and does not display the post. I suspect my theme may be at fault. How would I hard code the single.php in the parent directory as the default to use if no category template exists ?

    Works perfectly if I copy the single.php into the /single/single-cat-name.php file but I don’t want 40+ duplicate files.

    This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you for spelling this out so simply! It leaves me with a question though: I removed my sidebar but now there’s just an empty space where it used to be. How can I stretch the main content section to cover the entire space? Thanks again!

    Antworten

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Lyssie,

      That’s because your theme has defined content area width relative to the sidebar. You need to use inspect tool to find out which CSS class your conntent-area uses and then adjust by adding custom CSS to make it full width.

      .page-template-full-width .content-area {
          width: 100%;
          margin: 0px;
          border: 0px;
          padding: 0px;
      }
      
      .page-template-full-width .site {
      margin:0px;
      }

        • WPBeginner Support

          Hi Lyssie,

          Your theme uses content-area class to define the content block’s width. You should be able to see its width when using the inspect tool.

    That’s a great article and should helps a no-coder person like me. Customization of template would be something scary that you might break the theme altogether. Do you recommend make the custom template on a child theme or is it okay to do it right on the theme. Thanks a bunch.

    Antworten

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Joe,

      You will not be changing any of your theme’s existing files. Instead, you will be creating a new file. If anything goes wrong you can simply delete the template and your site will be back to normal.

      Yes creating a child theme is the recommended best practice.
