Create new, basic single.php template

Hmm, OK thanks for that I probably misunderstood the theme author as he said:
‘The plugin should follow your original post logic. The content of our templates are placed in the container of the original post template.’

Davood – thanks for the hint – it’s not WC, so I should be good.

The site never had `posts’ as such and now they want a blog – anything entered as a post just showed the content – no date, author, category etc as most posts show!

The plugin helps with that adding those meta fields, however the rest of the site is centred (like a boxed display) but now the post is flush left!

I thought I needed a single.php to control the display (but it seems not, thank you for the clarification).

My index.php is this:

<?php get_header();?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="body">
	<div class="container">
		<div class="clear"></div>
		<div class="main">
			<div class="post content">
				<h1 class="page-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title();?></a></h1>

				<div class="content">
					<?php the_content(); ?>
				</div>
			</div>
		</div>
		<div class="clear"></div>
	</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php get_footer();?>

So bcworkz – you think (know) I could copy this file, rename to single.php – and I should be able to edit it to centre the post content!

Thanks Davood – it helps more than you know, starting to get my head around it and understand it a bit better.

Thanks

Once I get it right and sorted – and have no more silly questions – I’ll mark it as resolved.
