I have a site I am converting from using Pods. I've converted the custom type and am able to access the type and all custom fields in the editor. I can get templates to display on the front end using a shortcode insertion, but I can't seem to set it so the single item pulls up when calling the /type/item URL. (i.e. the type is "campus" and the item is "my-college", when I call site.com/campus/my-college" I get nothing but a blank page, even after I have created a content template using toolset and assigned it in the dashboard.
This method seems to work for NEW types I create from scratch, just not converted items. There are more than 500 custom items, so ideally I don't want to create a new type and start from scratch.
Any ideas on why the converted items would not show using the permalink structure?
I could see the custom types in the Dashboard, so I didn't need to do the first part, "Converting custom post types and taxonomy". I created a field group for the type, then added all the custom fields to the group.
This seems to have worked because I can see all the fields in the template creator and can create the template without a problem. In the block editor, it even pulls the data from the custom type with no problem. The issue is when I go on the front end to a specific item (e.g. /campus/virginia-commonwealth-university) the page is blank, the template I created using the editor does not show on this page.
As I mentioned, if I create a new custom type, use the template editor and then go to that permalink, it shows up fine. So somehow, there is a disconnect for the converted custom type.
Would you mind allowing me to have admin access to the website as well as the name of the post type with the issue so that I can have a further look at this for you ?

I don't understand. Isn't that what I've done? I have already followed those instructions, I thought.
I created a template, it shows in the Dashboard "TEMPLATE" column. When I look at the template in the editor, it shows the blocks I've added, with data. The only place it's not showing is the single-item page, which I thought was what the template was supposed to do.
For example, there is a custom field called "adoption_resources" that has been added to the template. It has content for virginia-commonwealth-university. It's not showing on the front end.
On the post itself, you didn't assign the content template to it. See Screenshot.
Currently it is set to none. To ensure that all your posts under the campus post type gets assigned the content template you will need to click the Apply to all button. See Screenshot
Please let me know if this clears things up for you. Once you have done this you should see your content showing up.
