 * Hello Sir,
 * I just installed your plugin and believe it will meet my needs, so thank you 
   very much for your efforts.
 * One question though – the pages seem to pick up on the default layout of my template,
   but the individual posts (job listings) do not.
 * Is there a purpose for the jobs to not use the default theme layout? I am unsure
   if the ability to edit the layout was intentionally removed or simply not included.
   Even so, I would have expected it to… well… default to the default.
 * Thanks,
 * Jared

 * Just as an FYI you can view the template hierarchy of WP here [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy)
 * Pages can be treated differently to ‘posts’ and custom post types.

 * I am using the genesis framework with a child theme. While the framework as a
   single.php, the child only has a 404, functions and page-landing. Could the lack
   of a single.php be the issue?
 * Mind you, the them processes regular posts just fine with all the expected formatting
   for the theme.
 * Thoughts?
 * (thanks for the quick replies!)

 * It should just use the parent’s single.php.
 * What do you see anyway? Have you checked genesis documentation on custom post
   types?

 * The parent single.php reads:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * Genesis Framework.
        *
        * WARNING: This file is part of the core Genesis Framework. DO NOT edit this file under any circumstances.
        * Please do all modifications in the form of a child theme.

        */
   
       //* This file handles single entries, but only exists for the sake of child theme forward compatibility.
       genesis();
       ```
   
 * Which is wholly un-useful to an end-user like myself.
 * I tried looking at Genesis’ website – couldn’t find anything in their FAQ, etc.,
   and their forums were not easily searchable as well (too many hits to filter 
   through).
 * You probably expected that this would not work, but for kicks I tried creating
   the single-job_listing.php and coping over the single.php stuff and just got 
   an error – something about something being re-declared.
 * What seems odd to me is that it is almost as if a ‘</div>’ is missing or something–
   which I only say because of some misalignment that is happening.

 * I see why 🙂
 * CSS rules like this: [http://glui.me/?i=vicnhcx7ued2tn3/2014-10-15_at_22.08.png/](http://glui.me/?i=vicnhcx7ued2tn3/2014-10-15_at_22.08.png/)
 * .page .page, .post,
 * Job listings don’t get those classes. They get . job_listing

 * Sorry for my ignorance – but does that mean there is a way I can fix it in CSS?

 * Yes. Find the rule I took a screenshot of and add .job_listing as one of it’s
   selectors.

 * Thanks Mike. I’m having issues with it wanting to also place the corner images
   on the Jobs Listing Page as well as on the individual posts.
 * I certainly don’t expect you to baby me through CSS, so thanks for getting me
   pointed in the correct direction. I shall try to take it from here. Thank you.

 * You could try a more specific selector like #content .job_listing {}

 * I was able to fix it with selectors such as:
 * .job_listing
    .job_listing .wrap .job_listing .wrap .right-corner, .job_listing.
   wrap .left-corner,
 * Placed in the correct areas.
 * Thank you again. It looks the same as everything else now 🙂
