Single portfolio page is using the single.php template. How do I direct it to use the single-portfolio.php template?

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div class="container"> <div class="row">

    <div class="col-md-12">
        <?php if (have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

            <div class="page-header">
                <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
            </div>

            <?php the_content(); ?>

        <?php endwhile; else: ?>

            <div class="page-header">
                <h1>Sorry!</h1>
            </div>
            <p>There is no content for this page!</p>



        <?php endif; ?>
    </div>
 </div>

<?php get_footer(); ?> </div>

Hi Mina S. ,

There is a video that addresses the topic--exactly.

Take a look at the-portfolio-single-page video.

Hope it helps, Cheers!

Hey Fabio. I set up my templates according to those instructions but for some reason my single portfolio page doesn't recognize single-portfolio.php as the template to use. It keeps defaulting to single.php.

Ok,

That's on hierarchy

I have vvv installed. That's what I use when I deal with WordPress. But I'm not doing it right now, though I do not have a real example to show you.

Here is TH course only on hierarchy.

http://teamtreehouse.com/library/the-wordpress-template-hierarchy.

Via search I got:

The newest member is singular.php, coming in 4.3, which covers what single.php and page.php combined do now.

by Chris Coyier

 

That said, the info here on template hierarchy may be outdated, but with the information in the quote from Coyier in mind, the course above can help you. Adapt it.
