different content-single.php pages
5 replies · Started by Kevin on August 1, 2022
hello,
I am trying to create different post templates.
first try
copied the content of single.php and pasted it into single-post.php. Unfortunately the content is in content-single.php, so this doesn't work.
second try:
I copied the content of content-single.php and pasted it into content-post.php. in single-post.php I rewrote the code "generate_do_template_part( 'single' );" into "get_template_part( 'content-post' );". now it works, but the comment function is not displayed.
You can help me?
Thank.
best regards
Kevin
Hi Kevin,
Why not just overwrite content-single.php? Basically, create a new content-single.php in your child theme directory, and paste the contents of the original content-single.php there?
Let us know.
Hi Fernando,
because i need two different post templates.
If i create a new content-single.php, i have only one templates.
Hi there,
i assume you registered a custom post type for your new single-post templates?
If so, where you register your register_post_type function in the supports parameter array, add comments

Hi,
no. I only use posts, no custom post type.
I need two different post templates, which I can then select in the post.
One for normal posts and for the other I would like to add some more infos.
Ok, so slightly different.
Try the following:
1. Copy the single.php to your child theme and rename it single-post.php
1.1 Edit the template and change its header from:
/**
* The Template for displaying all single posts.
*
* @package GeneratePress
*/TO:
/**
* Template Name: Single Post template
* Template Post Type: post
* @package GeneratePress
*/2. Copy the content-single.php to your child theme and rename it content-single-post.php
Thats it, in the editor you should be able to choose either template, and by default they will have the comments options you have enabled in Settings > Discussion and the editor discussion meta box.
