Hi there,

Hmm, did you find somewhere that told you to use this kind of file name?: content-single-%mypostid%.php

I can’t find any information on using custom page templates for posts.

What do you mean by making the change for the page layout?

Let me know 🙂

Hi Tom,

yes but not with GP, let’s hope the logic it’s the same.

See this documents https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/page-templates/

I need to load some script / php code only in some post or pages.

Please let me know.

The first point on that page says this:

Page templates only apply to pages, not to any other content type (like posts and custom post types).

You can load scripts/PHP code on some posts or pages by using if conditionals: https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags

Specific pages: https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#A_PAGE_Page
Specific posts: https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#A_Single_Post_Page

I too would love to create different custom layouts for the different blog post formats. I’ve seen it before on other people’s site’s so I’m assuming there’s a way to do it.

Would I create a custom page called
– content-single-aside.php
– content-single-quote.php
etc.?

I want to be able to have custom layouts for each of these format types.

I believe it should just be:

content-aside.php
content-quote.php

etc..

Thanks. Worked with a colleague and got it worked out.

Howevever, these are the only formats I see to choose from:
standard
aside
image
video
quote
link
status

Your example (I found in another post) referenced additional types:
gallery
audio
chat

Is there a way to enable the last 3?

I’ve since created a custom workaround to have (essentially) custom post types for the blog posts and created custom page templates but wondered but those last 3 weren’t showing up in the format options.

Thanks!
