Use the Page Template for a Custom Post Type
Displays single entries of chosen post types with your theme's page template instead of the blog post template, so they have no dates, authors or post navigation.
Opens WPIDE on
Code
// Post types shown with the page template.
$wpide_page_like_types = array( 'service', 'location' );
add_filter( 'single_template_hierarchy', function ( $templates ) use ( $wpide_page_like_types ) {
if ( ! is_singular( $wpide_page_like_types ) ) {
return $templates;
}
$pos = array_search( 'single.php', $templates, true );
array_splice( $templates, false === $pos ? count( $templates ) : $pos, 0, array( 'page.php' ) );
return $templates;
} );Notes
Works with classic (page.php) and block themes (the "Pages" template). A single-{post_type} template still takes priority.
