 * Hi, i have a serious problem with custom post type single. I have created custom
   post type named ‘projects’. At this time, i have seen nothing wrong with my codes
   in functions. Everything works fine, but single-projects.php doesn’t. It appears**
   blank page** everytime i enter a project, and i don’t know why. I have googled
   many times, and i can make sure that it is not permalink problem (many others
   got this).
    Here is registering codes in functions:
 *     ```
       function create_post_type() {
         register_post_type( 'projects',
           array(
             'labels' => array(
               'name' => __( 'Projects' ),
               'singular_name' => __( 'Project' ),
             ),
             'public' => true,
             'has_archive' => true,
             'show_ui' => true,
             'menu_icon'   => 'dashicons-portfolio',
             'rewrite' => true,
             'supports' => array('title', 'custom-fields', 'editor', 'revisions', 'thumbnail', 'author')
           )
         );
         flush_rewrite_rules();
       }
       ```
   
 * And obviously, single-projects.php is copied from single.php.
    I hope anyone 
   could help me! Thank you very much!

 * Is the page completely blank or just part blank. If it is complexity blank, there
   is a good chance that there is a syntax error.
 * Do you see a title in the browser tab?

 * It is completely blank, no title, just only url.
    Any clue for a syntax error,
   please?

 * You could send a link to pastebin containing your code your are using for the
   single-projects.php.

    It has the exactly
   same code with single.php. It should work.

 * I am seeing syntax errors right off the get go.
 *     ```
       if ( is_singular('projects') )
       			the_content();
       		else (
       		// Start the loop.
       		while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
       ```
   
 * Looks like you are missing a bracket and use parenthesis instead of brackets.
   You also do not need to do a `is_single` check since the file is named `single-
   projects.php`.

 * [@ravikas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravikas/) Thanks for the input
   but the OP is not having issues creating the CPT, they are having issues displaying
   them. Also, next time please wrap you code in the code ticks. It makes the forum
   easier to read.
 * [@sagitt000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sagitt000/) The code you provided
   is not from the original single.php file. There is improper code added. Remove
   the code that has been added and you should be good to go.

 * Oh sorry for being late, mates.
 * [@justin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justin/): You are right about is_singlular,
   I removed it, but it’s still blank. Besides, i think those codes can’t make it
   blank, it is just not necessary.
 * [@ravikas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ravikas/): Basically, i have done
   the same thing to you for registering CPT and etc. And Justin also got the point,
   it is about displaying. Others work fine as they should be.
