Including Loop is not necessary, but recommended. Also, if you want to use some features you need the loop, for example: <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <?php the_content(); ?> <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
A couple issues here… First, the init hook is too early for WordPress to know which page template you’re going to be using. (So the is_page_template() function will always return false). Just go ahead and hook your function to wp_enqueue_scripts (which you’re probably already doing for your global CSS / JavaScript). And then check for … Read more
function get_custom_post_type_template($single_template) { global $post; if ($post->post_type == ‘events’) { $single_template = dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/single-event.php’; } return $single_template; } add_filter( ‘single_template’, ‘get_custom_post_type_template’ ); Source Or you could use: add_filter( ‘template_include’, ‘single_event_template’, 99 ); function single_event_template( $template ) { if ( is_singular(‘event’) ) { $new_template = locate_template( array( ‘single-event.php’ ) ); if ( ” … Read more
Custom page templates are for pages – not post type archives 🙂 Naming your template file as archive-projects.php will cause WordPress to select it for your Projects archive page.

In order to access the content I used — <?php /* Start the Loop */ ?> <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <?php the_content();?> <?php endwhile; ?> By adding that snippet of code directly into my template page I was able to easily add the content from the visual … Read more

You then create a single template that splits off based on category. Meaning you use the general header and footer in your single-postypename.php and anything else … Read more
