    If you want to create a custom post single. Just copy the single.php file and paste it and change the name to single-yourposttypeslug.php. Now write the html part in the loop.

    Hi, Supratim Chatterjee.

    Thank you for your reply.
    So, are you saying that an HTML template like ‘single-yourposttypeslug.html’ is not necessary?
    I was under the impression that FSE themes were built using HTML templates in the template folder.

    Yes, that’s correct.

    My understanding is that Block/FSE themes follow the same template hierarchy as Classic themes.

    Block themes currently support the classic PHP template files as a fallback if WordPress can not find the HTML file. But if the equivalent HTML template file exists in the theme’s templates folder, it’ll be used instead of the PHP file.

    I understand that if something doesn’t work in an HTML template, it can be written in PHP.

    Thank you George Appiah!
