I've created a custom post type: tutorials using generatewp.com generator and registered it with register_post_type().

I'm querying the list of tutorials in a custom page template like that:

<?php $query = new WP_Query('post_type=tutorial'); ?>
<?php if($query->have_posts()) : ?>
  <?php while($query->have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
    <p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
  <?php endwhile(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

To target single tutorial template I've created a file single-tutorial.php, placed a loop inside it, and fired the tutorial permalink in the browser.

The single-tutorial.php file is ommited from Template Hierarchy and goes directly to index.php.

The premalink is for example: http://example.com/tutorial/tutorial-name/.

index.php content is loaded instead of single-tutorial.php

Why is that? Any help very appreciated.
