[...] Setting templates for WordPress 3.0 Custom Post Type « Two Thirds Design “The template used for a custom post view is decided by the ‘get_single_template()’ function in the wp-includes/theme.php file. And it basically tells locate_template() to look for single-’post_type’.php or single.php. So the simplest way to customise the way a custom post is displayed is to add a template file to your theme with the name single-xxxxxx.php” Oh. That makes life simpler.

Good post, like so many simple solutions with wp (e.g. taxonomy) its a matter of the right file name in the right place!

What should the code in the single-customtype.php file look like?!

I have a file that came with a plugin, but it now suddenly always shows the last post added. Apparently the file does not get the right ID. Using the loop from a regular single.php file can’t find anything at all.

I was having issues with the archive template hierarchy not working properly for me so I modified Christopher B’s idea to query the “taxonomy” var!

function my_template_redirect()
{
global $wp;
if ($wp->query_vars["taxonomy"] == “example”)
{
include(TEMPLATEPATH . “/taxonomy-example.php”);
die();
}
}
add_action(“template_redirect”, ‘my_template_redirect’);
