[Plugin: Custom Post Template] Custom post template guts all other formatting

Hi there,

Not incredibly experienced- learning through a lot of trial and error- hoping to get an answer on this.

I initially used custom post templates in the jas-personal-publisher theme, and it worked fine. I’m doing a redesign for our company’s blog using the Brunelleschi theme, and we need multiple custom post templates for compliance reasons.

I followed the same protocol as before when developing the custom templates- pasting in the following code at the top:

<?php
/*
Template Name Posts: Type 1
*/
?>

The code after that is the same as the post code found in loop-single.php. Using the same method as before, I attempted to paste in code for a paragraph to follow the post after the entry content, similar to below:

<div class="entry-content">
   <?php the_content(); ?>
   <?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:', 'brunelleschi' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
   <p>This is a disclaimer</p>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->

I then put up a post, selecting the custom template before publishing. The result? A plain-text webpage with the blog content stripped of all blog formatting. Any explanation as to why? Any suggestions on how to fix it?
