 * I developed a theme for WordPress 3.4 but then found out that the server that
   will be used for it won’t work with that version, so I’ve gone to an older version
   of wordpress that the server can cope with and I’m not sure if the single_post.
   php templates work with version 3.1?
 * Is there anywhere in the codex that gives the specs and features for every wordpress
   release?
 * Also do can I create a variety of post templates? If so is it the same as it 
   would be for 3.4?
 * Many thanks in advance

 * Howdy Kanger,
 * You should be fine, except it is single-post.php (hyphen rather than underscore.)
 * Check out:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy)
 * There’s a nifty visual reference that shows how WordPress will decide what template
   file to use for your page.
 * No changes that will break that for your singles from 3.1 to 3.4.
 * Take care,
    Paul

 * Actually I’ve just been a complete idiot, was looking at 3.4 version I had locally,
   it hasn’t worked afterall 🙁
 * hmmm… can I use the same get_template_part (‘content’ ‘single’)
 * ?
 * thanks in advance
