This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
How do I create Custom templates for Custom posts, if I use only Types and can not use Content Templates or Layouts to style them?

Solution:
This is how you create Custom Templates for Types Post Types:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/creating-templates-for-single-custom-posts-in-php/

1. To create a template for the single posts of your custom post type, you need to create a file called single-post_type_name.php where post_type_name is the name of our custom post type.

2. then, you will style and code this template with Custom Code, here is more information on how you do this:

I expected to see: display custom post created by Types as same structure as WP single post.

Instead, I got: to display the custom post by Types as same structure as custom post already created by Theme I chose, even though I created and added "single-'$your_slug'.php" into the theme. That is, the custom post by Types is read as same as the custom post created by the Theme.

I just add the "single-'$your_slug'.php" into the theme. Could you give me any ideas to resolve this problem?

Thank you very much in advance.

This is how you create Custom Templates for Types Post Types:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/creating-templates-for-single-custom-posts-in-php/

Or, you can use Views Content Templates to style them:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/view-templates/

You will need to use Custom PHP and HTML in your custom Post Type Template (in your theme) if you use the first approach.

Thank you

Hello,

It is eventually resolved that I create to write in WP post as it will be difficult for me to change the code in my theme.

Thank you.
