    Hi,

    I’m wondering how to go about creating a custom page theme for custom post types (i.e. single-custompost.php). When I create my script, there’s no styling, header, footer or sidebar. Something I’m missing?

    Cheers,
    Scott

    Hi,
    The best way to do that is to copy the index.php file and rename it (single-[customposttypename].php)

    Hi Nikeo,

    I too am trying to do this, but sadly I am a beginner with code and so am unclear what I shoudl be doing. I have got to the php files page, but can’t work out how to copy the index.php page so that I can amend as you have instructed, can you help me out, please?

    Many thanks,

    Rob

    Rob,

    Open up the index.php file and simply copy the code from that and paste it into your custom template file.

    That should be you.
