You can do that with single_template filter. First you will need to check if a post belongs to a top level category. So here is the function. // custom single template for specific category function wpse_custom_category_single_template( $single_template ) { global $post; // get all categories of current post $categories = get_the_category( $post->ID ); $top_categories = … Read more
Newly registered CPT shows 404 because, the register_post_type() doesn’t flush the rewrite rules. So it’s up to you, whether you want to do it manually or automatically. Manually: Get to /wp-admin/, then Settings ยป Permalinks, and then just hit the Save Changes button to flush the rewrite rules. Automatically: You can flush the rewrite rules … Read more
I had the same idea and wrote a small little plugin to help me do this. function get_pew_related_data($args, $post_id, $related_id) { global $post, $wpdb; $post_id = intval( $post_id ); if( !$post_id && $post->ID ) { $post_id = $post->ID; } if( !$post_id ) { return false; } $defaults = array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘topics’, ‘post_type’ => array(‘post’), … Read more
The solution is to reregister the default post type just after WordPress, and to add a rewrite slug. Also, the _builtin param needs to be set to false. add_action( ‘init’, ‘my_new_default_post_type’, 1 ); function my_new_default_post_type() { register_post_type( ‘post’, array( ‘labels’ => array( ‘name_admin_bar’ => _x( ‘Post’, ‘add new on admin bar’ ), ), ‘public’ => … Read more
Use: get_category_link( $category_id ); See: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_category_link In your specific case: <?php global $post; $categories = get_the_category(); foreach ($categories as $category) : $exclude = get_the_ID(); $posts = get_posts(‘posts_per_page=4&category=’. $category->term_id); foreach($posts as $post) : if( $exclude != get_the_ID() ) { ?> <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/219954/<?php the_permalink(); ?>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>” class=”post c-1″> Link to actual post</a> <?php } endforeach; … Read more
For the templates WordPress uses, please always refer to Template hierarchy scheme in the Codex. As you can see there, single-{$posttype}-{$slug}.php does not exist, there is only single-{$posttype}.php. To do what you want, have a look at the filter ‘single_template’: add_filter( ‘single_template’, function( $template ) { global $post; if ( $post->post_type === ‘event’ ) { … Read more
I think a hook into template_include like described here could be a proper way to do this. Code could be like this: add_filter(‘template_include’, ‘my_plugin_templates’); function my_plugin_templates( $template ) { $post_types = array(‘post’); if (is_singular($post_types)) { $template=”path/to/singular/template/in/plugin/folder.php”; } return $template; }
You don’t want a post to be the front page, you want a custom post type entry to be the front page. Now that we have the terminology right, yes it’s possible. A client once asked me to do the exact same thing. They had a custom post type they needed displayed on the front … Read more
Make your single.php the following: <?php $post = $wp_query->post; if ( in_category( ‘work’ ) ) { include( TEMPLATEPATH.’/single-work-cat.php’ ); } else { include( TEMPLATEPATH.’/single-generic.php’ ); } ?> and make single-work-cat.php the template you wish to show for single work category posts, and single-generic.php the one you wish to show in all other cases. For more … Read more
The reason the code posted is not working is that $post is not referencing the global $post variable, which is the goal here. Using get_the_ID() is a good way of accessing the ID associated with the current post. That’s how I’d suggest doing it, but there are other ways too: add_action ( ‘wp_head’, ‘hook_inHeader’ ); … Read more
