Hi,
"Custom Post Template" drop down Menu no longer appears with wordpress 3.4. I think the plugin's author have to update the plugin.
The new/edit post form displays the message :
This theme has no available custom post templates.
Thanks for your supports

I saw this post on the web :
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11027121/page-templates-disappeared-with-wordpress-3-4
Apparently from 3.4 the "Template Name" comment needs to look like this:
/*
Template Name: MyCustomTemplate
*/
Hope this helps somebody else.

But apparently, this solution doesn't work for me... :-(
I have to manually add the custom field "custom_post_template"

I've been having the same problem too ever since updating to WordPress 3.4.
I can't have full width posts anymore which is highly annoying.
Anyone know how to fix it?

The author of the plugin Simon wheatley has released an upgrade for WordPress 3.4, but it doesn't solve this issue !

I just updated to the newest version and it's fixed it for me.
Hopefully you'll find a fix for your problem!

I'm french, so my WordPress is in french.
Perhaps this is the issue...
fortunately, I can use custom fields ;)

@riversatile: Can you post just the header from one of your templates, please? NOT the whole template.
Posted 11 months ago #
@Simon Wheatley: The issue in located in the Admin Dashboard, not on my theme templates.
Is my template headers will really help you ?
Posted 11 months ago #
I found the issue, here I saw 1 people that said to replace :
/*
Template Name Posts: MyCustomTemplate
*/by
/*
Template Name: MyCustomTemplate
*/But he was wrong !
I put back :
/*
Template Name Posts: MyCustomTemplate
*/And now it's working !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks guys

Here : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11027121/page-templates-disappeared-with-wordpress-3-4
But I missunderstood that the guy told about "Custom Page template" and not about "Custom Post Template" !

I've installed this plugin and it seems to be working (my full-width template shows in the template dropdown menu) but after selecting it and updating the post, it is still appearing as the default layout for posts? Something must be overriding this plugin right? Any suggestions?

Go to Post Template and select "Snarfer." That is what worked for me.
Posted 7 months ago #
Excuse my ignorance but what do you mean by "select" Snarfer? And are you refering to the "Custom Post Template" accessable in WordPress Admin or are you talking about the template I needed to make and upload via FTP(Full Width Template)?
I don't see that in either code. Here's the code I've been looking at. Any help will be much appreciated.
Also here's a link to a post page example still not taking the full-width setting: http://www.amberbmx.com/?p=601
<?php
/**
* Template Name Posts: Full Width Posts
*
* Full width page template with no sidebar.
*
* @package Oxygen
* @subpackage Template
*/
get_header(); // Loads the header.php template. ?>
<div class="aside">
<?php get_sidebar( 'primary' ); // Loads the sidebar-primary.php template. ?>
</div>
<?php do_atomic( 'before_content' ); // oxygen_before_content ?>
<div class="content-wrap">
<div id="content">
<?php do_atomic( 'open_content' ); // oxygen_open_content ?>
<div class="hfeed">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php do_atomic( 'before_entry' ); // oxygen_before_entry ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="<?php hybrid_entry_class(); ?>">
<?php do_atomic( 'open_entry' ); // oxygen_open_entry ?>
<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( 'entry_title', '[entry-title]' ); ?>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'oxygen' ) ); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<p class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'oxygen' ), 'after' => '</p>' ) ); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( 'entry_meta', '<div class="entry-meta">[entry-edit-link]</div>' ); ?>
<?php do_atomic( 'close_entry' ); // oxygen_close_entry ?>
</div><!-- .hentry -->
<?php do_atomic( 'after_entry' ); // oxygen_after_entry ?>
<?php do_atomic( 'after_singular' ); // oxygen_after_singular ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div><!-- .hfeed -->
<?php do_atomic( 'close_content' ); // oxygen_close_content ?>
</div><!-- #content -->
<?php do_atomic( 'after_content' ); // oxygen_after_content ?>
<?php get_footer(); // Loads the footer.php template. ?>

I am using a Template from Elegant Templates. After I installed the plugin, I went to one of the posts, scrolled over to where it says: "Post Template," and it gave me two options: default template and snarfer. Snafer is what I picked. Also, make sure that you have a custom field with the name: custom_post_template
and the value: fullwidth-post.php
Hope this helps.

Oh okay, I have the option for this post template. Mine is just named "Full Width Posts".
Where do I put this "custom field"? In one of the templates I posted above? Or somewhere else?
You must log in to post.
