WordPress.org

Installation

1. Upload the entire single-post-template folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Create Post Templates in your theme's folder, as described in Usage

Usage

After you have installed the plugin, you'll need to create some Post Templates to use. In order to create a Post Template, either duplicate your default single post template, or create a new template file. Insert the following code at the very top of the file:

<?php
/*
Single Post Template: [Descriptive Template Name]
Description: This part is optional, but helpful for describing the Post Template
*/
?>

See Screenshot #1 for what this might look like in your code editor

Once you have created a new Post Template, either edit or create a new post, and directly underneath the post content box, you should see a new box labeled "Single Post Template". Choose the Post Template you want to use and publish or update the post.
