single-{post-type}.php

Question

I have implemented a custom post-type "project". To see the page of the archives of these custom post types, I created an archive-projet.php To see this page, I type http://localhost/my-website/?post_type=project so far no problems ..... Where it gets complicated is when I want to see the single-projet.php page.

When I click on the link in the project archive-projet.php page, a blank page is displayed! I do not understand ! Someone would have any idea ? Thank you for your lights.

You could also check your PHP error logs for any signs.
