So in this article we will show you how to create custom single post templates in our WordPress themes.
Why you need to create a custom template on our themes? Because sometimes you may want to different look for selected posts on your website. Generally you are publishing every new post on only Default Template (single.php) but now if you want to publish selected post on different design by your chosen template there are no options but after this tutorial you can publish every you’ll selected post on different looks.
INSTRUCTION
Step 1: First of all you have to open a any plain text editor on your computer like Notepad, Notepad++ or any else and paste the following given code inside and you can modify or change as per your needs and save it:
/*
* Template Name: Full Post Width
* Template Post Type: post, page, etc
*/
get_header(); ?>
<!– your custom html start—>
<div id=”wrapper”>
<p>
your content style here
</p>
</div>
<!– your custom html end—>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Now you can save this file as custom-single-post.php or anything as you like on your inside themes folder. for example if you are using this method on your Localhost so then save the file on this location htdocs/YourProject/wp-content/themes/ThemsName/and paste here…..
Or if you are using direct on Website so then:
- Login to your cPnale with your username and password (Note if you don’t have cPanel access so then you can ask your hosting provider or developer)
- Go to File Manager
- Now choose your domain Name or click on WWW folder
- Now direct go to your current installed themes folder for example: wp-content/themes/ThemsName/and upload file here…..
This code is defines a new template called “Full Post Width” and makes it available for post, page, etc.
This means if you want to show this Custom template only on Single Post type so remove all type from Template Post Type: and add only Post and remove other page, etc
For more example you can see above Template Post Type illustration.
Now finally go to your Add New Post on Dashboard and check on right sidebar you will see your “Full Post Width” under the Post Attributes.
