You have several options here so I will clarify what you can do.
-
Create a custom post type template page using something like
single-customposttype.php
and take advantage of the template hierarchy, http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy -
Use a conditional query for your styling in the loop ( or whatever you’re using), along the line of
if (post type= your custom one) style it this way;
. or use some other WordPress conditionals. http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query -
Use a taxonomy for back-end organization, custom taxonomies do not have to be public.
-
Use post formats for your custom post type, CPT’s can support
post-formats
,
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type
Most people go with option one, but it depends on what you’re trying to do.
