[Resolved] Editing single.php so it pulls custom post

Posts utilize single.php. I made copies of the html for a regular "post: and the html of my custom post "spotlight". The only difference I see in the two of them is that the type is different. But on my single.php it seems that the class is what is called, and not the type.

Can someone tell me what I need to change in the single.php coding to draw the custom post?

Hi Eileen,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

I'm not exactly sure of the issue but your posts should be using the single.php template if there are no templates built specifically for your cpt.

Thanks,
Shane

Addendum:
From reading I have been doing I am wondering if a javascript to remove the postmetadata would work? If so, what would that script be?

They do use the single.php file. I thought I could rename it and modify the code to give me what I want.

The code is <?php get_template_part('content-postmeta' ); ?>

How can I change that so that the template isn't pulled, i.e. is not used?

Hi Eileen,

I'm not sure what you are trying to do exactly.

Because the template already renders your custom posts.

Thanks,
Shane

I was able to figure it out.
