• First things first, i honestly DO NOT beleive anyone who’s voted this and wrote thank you or great has got this working with the instructions you’ve given, it’s impossible to understand this… And i hope everyone agree’s.

    ——————-

    Your instructions are about as much use as saying

    To fix the car take that thing off that thingy, and replace the thingy with a thingy And if you have problems with that thingy that you replaced with the thingy, then remove that thing, and replace it with 2 double thingys.

    Go to Dashboard => WP Post Template and set your general setting.

    Ok there’s just 2 boxes one with a tick and one saying default??? where do i go from here?

    Create a new custom post template, you need to put the new file in the same directory as index.php

    What new file? where’s it created the new file? do i just close my eyes and guess the name of what this new file should be called?

    Does this new file have any formating rules? does it have any special chars for HTML/CSS/ does it only work on plain text?

    just need to add comment (WP Post Template: Your New Post Template Name)

    So now not only do i not understand what this new file is even called or what content it should actually contain.

    But now i’m now supposed to add a comment (WP Post Template: … to where? to what? this is so confusing.

    FOR anyone who has managed to figure this impossible task out
    Can you tell me in real instructions how to do this simple thing.

    Below is the HTML code i want to display as soon as a click “Create new Post”

    <img src=”someimage”>
    <img src=”someimage”><p> text </p>
    <img src=”someimage”><p> text </p>
    <img src=”someimage”><p> text </p>
    <img src=”someimage”><p> text </p>
    <img src=”someimage”><p> text </p>
    <!–more–>”;

    And what file name to put it into? Much appreciated!

  • I also have no idea how to use this. Deleting it.

    Hey, I think you misunderstand the purpose of this plugin.

    It’s for creating additional php-templates for posts. A function wordpress originally has only for pages.

    You can create a file something.php and add the php comment /* WP Post Template: Something */ now you can display certain posts in a different way. Maybe fullscreen without a sidebar or something.

    I think you want something like content templates for ne posts? So this is the wrong plugin for you. Next time check your assumptions before hating!
