Single Page for two custom post types

Question

I have a child theme with two custom post types 'jazz clubs' and 'jazz festival'. I would like the single.php to either display different content dependent on whether the post is from jazz clubs or jazz festival.

The problem is, how can I create this using single.php file. Have tried creating single-jazz-clubs.php and single-jazz-festival.php but the current single.php keeps loading the parent content.

Actually I can <?php get_template_part( 'content', 'club' ); ?> from the single.php but is there a way of making sure it can show festival CPT, the post belongs to that post type.

The current single.php look like this:

get_header(); ?>
<div id="content" class="large-8 columns" role="main">
        <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
            <?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>s
            <nav class="nav-single">
                <span class="nav-previous"><?php previous_post_link( '%link', '<span class="meta-nav">' . _x( '&laquo;', 'Previous post link', 'wpforge' ) . '</span> %title' ); ?></span>
                <span class="nav-next"><?php next_post_link( '%link', '%title <span class="meta-nav">' . _x( '&raquo;', 'Next post link', 'wpforge' ) . '</span>' ); ?></span>
            </nav><!-- .nav-single -->

            <?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>

        <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

</div><!-- #content -->

And here are my CPT's:

function jazz_clubs() {

$labels = array(
    'name'                => _x( 'Jazz Clubs', 'Post Type General Name', 'text_domain' ),
    'singular_name'       => _x( 'Jazz Club', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'text_domain' ),

Answer 1

Please check the post type slug. I think that is different than jazz-festival.

If you create single-POST_TYPE_SLUG.php it will work.

Answer 2

My solution for this same situation is the following

• Maintain integrity of single.php

• enhance it to allow custom post types to use the same file, yet have custom content displayed, different classes, etc.

Becomes

<?php
$post = get_queried_object();
if ( 'post' == $post->post_type ) {
    $post_format = get_post_format();
} else {
    $post_format = $post->post_type;
}
get_template_part( 'content', $post_format ); ?>

For posts, this will allow you to support post formats in your theme. This will also allow single.php to use content-jazz-festival.php as it's template part, rather than the default content.php. You can also specify other prefixes, as I am sure you know.

get_template_part( 'content-single', $post_format );

This would use content-single-jazz-festival.php with a fallback of content-single.php.

Full code:

<?php
global $post;
get_header(); ?>


<div id="content" class="large-8 columns" role="main">
        <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
            <?php
            if ( 'post' == $post->post_type ) {
                $post_format = get_post_format();
            } else {
                $post_format = $post->post_type;
            }?>
            <?php get_template_part( 'content', $post_format ); ?>
            <nav class="nav-single">
                <span class="nav-previous"><?php previous_post_link( '%link', '<span class="meta-nav">' . _x( '&laquo;', 'Previous post link', 'wpforge' ) . '</span> %title' ); ?></span>
                <span class="nav-next"><?php next_post_link( '%link', '%title <span class="meta-nav">' . _x( '&raquo;', 'Next post link', 'wpforge' ) . '</span>' ); ?></span>
            </nav><!-- .nav-single -->

            <?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>

        <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

</div><!-- #content -->
