Hi,

thanks for pointing that out. I hadn’t. But it also didn’t help :-/

I’ve currently just set my nameservers back and have w3 Total Cache doing the minification as I couldn’t get it to work for some reason.

Unknowingly, I had 2 versions of my functions.php file open and the one with my changes wasn’t being saved correctly.

Every time I adjust the XML feed the RSS is rebuilt automatically.

I never seem to get a reply on the WordPress forums…

I managed to solve it by using this code. Maybe it will help someone else:
```
<?php
	//Get the posts taxonomy details.
	$taxonomy = 'car_manufacturers';
	$terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, $taxonomy, array('orderby'=>'term_order') );

	//If terms has something in it, echo what I need.
	// 0 = Manufacture
	// 1 = Model
	// 2 = Chassis Prefix
	if ( !empty( $terms ) && !is_wp_error( $terms ) ) {
		echo $terms[1]->name;
	}
?>
```

Well, I got an answer over at Stackoverflow. Look like I have to query the post type, get the last post and get it’s modified date. I then wanted to format the date so that it read like “15th May”.

The code is as follows.
```
<p><?php
    $latest = new WP_Query(array('post_type' => 'car', 'post_status' => 'publish', 'posts_per_page' => 1, 'orderby' => 'modified', 'order' => 'ASC'));
    if($latest->have_posts()){
        $modified_date = $latest->posts[0]->post_modified;
    }
    //Get the last post update and display the date as "10th March"
    $lastpost = strtotime($modified_date);
    $lastmonth = date('F', $lastpost);
    $lastday = date('jS', $lastpost);
    echo 'Last Updated '.$lastday.' '.$lastmonth;
    ?>
</p>
```

Ok so for anyone reading this…

I changed my custom post type from ‘showroom’ to ‘car’ and made the various adjustments (single template name etc) all is fine!

Only lost about a day of my life 🙂

Upon further investigation this problem is only happening when I set Permalinks to “Post name”. If I select “Numeric” for example, the template file is displayed.

Does anyone know why that might be?

Perhaps I’m doing this wrong.

Can someone answer me this…

If I want to create a page to display one custom post type and style how that post type is displayed e.g grid etc.

Do I make a Archive page for that post type and build the structure in there?
OR
A Template file for the Page I created in my admin panel?

Thanks

I can get it to work if I create is archive-showroom.php and copy my template file content into it. But still doesn’t explain the odd behaviour in my last post.

Any ideas?
