Very nice, I like Austin’s filter method. I’m using “slug” instead of “term-id”, so I can name my files with the more memorable slug.

Hi Everyone,

Very useful article and discussion, thank you! Does anybody know how to make sure that a visitor that types a link that does not exist is linked to an error page instead of index.php?

So my link is http://www.example.nl, a user types http://www.example.nl/hello, but that page does not exist. In the basic theme a user is redirected to the theme without page content. How can I make sure the user receives an error page or the basic page that I want to display first?

Thanks for your reply in advance!

With regards,
Dylan

This doesn’t make any sense. You title the post, “WordPress Single Post Templates,” but the tutorial describes calling a custom template for a specific category, not a specific post.”

No reason to go to the extra work of creating a template, for a post if it is only going to be used once.

Title refers to a single post per page versus a archive type page with several posts on it.

How is this method going to allow users to create templates for single, specific posts?

Cool! But what if I want to create different layouts for posts within the index.php file?
I want to give different posts different colors depending on the category.
But with your solution I only see the color when I click on the post. (So when I go to single.php)

That All a very very big process.
I found a easier way only 2 steps and can do in 2 mins.
just include the below code in your index.php for your selected theme.

and the example site the I implemented is blog.theunical.com
