Custom Post Type single template
1 reply · Started by James on March 19, 2021
Hi there,
I've created a Custom Post Type and followed these instructions for setting up the template:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/setting-up-a-simple-custom-post-type/
When I view a single CPT post the changes in the content template aren't used. In my old theme I named the file single-reviews.php rather than reviews.php as suggested above.
After doing that the content area of the post isn't shown, but if I replace the suggested change in step 3:
generate_do_template_part( 'reviews' );
with
get_template_part( 'content', 'reviews' );
the template is used correctly.
Is this approach correct? Although it works I wondered if I might be missing anything by not using generate_do_template_part()?
Many thanks.
