Question

I know how to create a custom template for a specific wordpress page. However, I would like to create a template for a specific custom post type. Is that possible and if it is possible, how can I do that?

Answer 1

To add a custom template for custom post types you can use single-{posttype}.php template. You can look at the template hierarchy diagram for more details.

For example if your post type is called books, your filename for the template should be single-books.php
