Custom post type template

    Hi,

    I am trying to create a Custom post type template.

    Sticking a single-MyCustomPostType.php in the child theme does not work, because you use template parts to build the post page.

    I need to insert my own PHP code onto the Custom post type primary content area.

    How can I do this?

    I tried this, but it had no effect:
    remove_action( 'astra_entry_content_single', 'astra_entry_content_single' );

    Hi @theguitarlesson,

    Why don’t you just use a plugin like Custom Post Type UI plugin? It’s easy.

    I hope it will help.

    Kind regards,
    Herman 🙂

    Thanks, but that just registers the custom post type.
    My custom template is complicated, I need to be able to display a lot of variables using PHP, so it doesn’t help.

    Hi @theguitarlesson,

    What if you use Hooks to display those variables on your CPT? Please refer to this page.

    I hope it helps.

    Kind regards,
    Herman 🙂

    Hi,
    That’s what I tried to do, but it didn’t seem to work. This is the reason I tried getting help from the makers of Astra.

    Support from Astra Pro helped me figure this out, here is the code:

    
// Remove Astra content from Custom Post Type page

add_action('wp', 'remove_astra_content_from_cpt');
    
    function remove_astra_content_from_cpt(){
        if ( is_singular( 'NAMEOFYOURCUSTOMPOSTTYPEGOESHERE' ) ) {
            remove_action( 'astra_entry_content_single', 'astra_entry_content_single_template');
        }
    }

    
function add_cpt_content() {

    // bail if this current post type is different.
    if ( is_singular( 'NAMEOFYOURCUSTOMPOSTTYPEGOESHERE' ) ) {
        
        ?>
        <!-- Your custom HTML markup here -->
        <p>My custom theme HTML at astra_entry_content_before</p>	

        <?php
        
    }
}

add_action( 'astra_entry_top', 'add_cpt_content' );

    `

    Hope this helps somebody 🙂
