I created a child theme and I copied partials/single/* for creating my own post format but it seems a wrong approach.
PS. I read this page from the documentation Template Hierarchy it seems I can customize single.php but I’m unable to see it in OceanWP.
I’m lost 🙁

BTW, I’m unable to see OceanWP Settings in all the posts created by Custom Post Type UI
Hello,
Try to Add the below code the functions.php file of the child theme using FTP or cPanel. It will add OceanWP Settings metabox in your custom post types. Edit the post types in the code.
/**
* Add the OceanWP Settings metabox in your CPT
*/
function oceanwp_metabox( $types ) {
// Your custom post type
$types[] = 'your-post-type';
// Return
return $types;
}
add_filter( 'ocean_main_metaboxes_post_types', 'oceanwp_metabox', 20 );
If you want to edit the file, then you need to write your own function to fetch a template using for that custom post type. For example, ‘Review’ is a custom post type.
Step 1 – Copy partials/single folder under child theme and rename the ‘single’ folder to ‘review’.
Step 2. Now copy the singular.php file into your child theme and add the below code after line 52.
elseif ( is_singular( 'review' ) {
get_template_part( 'partials/review/layout' );
}
Step 3. Now modified the file under review folder as per your need.
Hope it will help you.
Oops,
When I applied step 2 I get a white page!
// Library post types
elseif ( is_singular( 'oceanwp_library' )
|| is_singular( 'elementor_library' ) ) {
get_template_part( 'partials/library/layout' );
}
elseif ( is_singular( 'software' ) {
get_template_part( 'partials/software/layout' );
}
// All other post types.
else {
get_template_part( 'partials/single/layout', get_post_type() );
}
What will happen if I ignore step 2?
When I ignored it I saw OceanWP settings in software post type and the page of Post type worked fine.

If you want to edit the theme file and code for the custom post type, then use Step 2, otherwise no need to do it. OceanWP settings metabox will work for custom post type after adding the code I gave you earlier.
@apprimit I tried a lot but I failed to make it works fine.
May you please take a look into my child theme on Github

Hello,
I just tested it and it is working for me. Try to install the Health Check plugin and enable Troubleshooting mode. Reload your site, save the permalinks again to update the .htaccess file. Disable troubleshooting mode and check it works or not.
Also, try to add the code (step 2) after line 44 instead of 52.
I did exactly as you said above but unfortunately it didn’t work 🙁
