I am designing a wordpress theme using the Underscore theme as a base. I have created a custom post type called Projects. Here's the code that registers the post type:
add_action( 'init', 'create_post_type' );
function create_post_type() {
register_post_type( 'Projects',
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'projects' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'projects' )
),
'taxonomies' => array('post_tag'),
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'supports' => array('title','editor','thumbnail','excerpt'),
)
);
}
So, now that I created a new post type, I went to go design the template for the post type. Since Underscore uses get_template_type to pull the theme together, I made one file called single-projects.php which includes the following code:
<?php
/**
* The Template for displaying all single posts.
*
* @package professional1d
*/
get_header(); ?>
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'Projects' ); ?>
<?php professional1d_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>
<?php
// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template
if ( comments_open() || '0' != get_comments_number() )
comments_template();
?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
</main><!-- #main -->
</div><!-- #primary -->
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
And then I created the content-projects.php page which has the code for the actual template, which is:
<?php
/**
* @package professional1d
*/
?>
<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<header class="entry-header">
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class="entry-meta">
<?php professional1d_posted_on(); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-meta -->
</header><!-- .entry-header -->
<div class="entry-content">
<p>
<img src="<?php
$thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id();
$thumb_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src($thumb_id,'thumbnail-size', true);
echo $thumb_url[0];
?>" class="img-thumbnail" align="left">
<strong><u><?php echo get_the_title(); ?></u></strong><br>
<strong>Date: </strong>
<?php the_field('start_date'); ?>
<?php
if(get_field('end_date')){
echo ' - ' . get_field('end_date') .;
}
?><br>
<strong>Type: </strong> <?php the_field('type'); ?><br>
<strong>Status: </strong> <?php the_field('status'); ?>
</p>
<div class="sexy_line"></div>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php
wp_link_pages( array(
'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'professional1d' ),
'after' => '</div>',
) );
?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
<footer class="entry-meta">
<?php
/* translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma */
$category_list = get_the_category_list( __( ', ', 'professional1d' ) );
/* translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma */
$tag_list = get_the_tag_list( '', __( ', ', 'professional1d' ) );
if ( ! professional1d_categorized_blog() ) {
// This blog only has 1 category so we just need to worry about tags in the meta text
if ( '' != $tag_list ) {
$meta_text = __( 'This entry was tagged %2$s. Bookmark the <a href="%3$s" title="Permalink to %4$s" rel="bookmark">permalink</a>.', 'professional1d' );
} else {
$meta_text = __( 'Bookmark the <a href="%3$s" title="Permalink to %4$s" rel="bookmark">permalink</a>.', 'professional1d' );
}
} else {
// But this blog has loads of categories so we should probably display them here
if ( '' != $tag_list ) {
$meta_text = __( 'This entry was posted in %1$s and tagged %2$s. Bookmark the <a href="%3$s" title="Permalink to %4$s" rel="bookmark">permalink</a>.', 'professional1d' );
} else {
$meta_text = __( 'This entry was posted in %1$s. Bookmark the <a href="%3$s" title="Permalink to %4$s" rel="bookmark">permalink</a>.', 'professional1d' );
}
} // end check for categories on this blog
printf(
$meta_text,
$category_list,
$tag_list,
get_permalink(),
the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' )
);
?>
<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'professional1d' ), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
</footer><!-- .entry-meta -->
</article><!-- #post-## -->
</div>
I think I followed the correct protocol to make template work, but for some reason, when I open one of the Project posts, a page with the content of the post does appear, but it's not using the template I designed in the content-projects.php file. You can see the issue in action here: http://onedirectionconnection.com/tester/?projects=take-me-home-tour As you can see, the template I pasted above is not being used.
Also, I tried lowercasing the P in Projects in the single-projects.php file, but then the content after the header just disappears.
The single.php and content-single.php use the same method and it's working for that pair. Would anyone be able to offer me some insight into what I am doing wrong?
Let me know if you need any more information or code!
Thanks for your time and help.
