<p>One of the shortcomings of Custom Post Types in WordPress is that there’s no way to easily set a different custom template from the standard single.php.  If it’s a custom post type, it’s got custom information, and I want to put it in a custom template!</p>
<p>So I threw together a plugin to handle this.  With this plugin installed and activated, it checks your template directory for posttype.php then t_posttype.php.  If neither exists, then the standard WP template rules take effect.</p>
<p>For example, if your custom post type is ‘books’, it’s going to check your template directory for ‘books.php’.  If it finds it, it will use that as the template for your ‘books’ posts.  If not, it will check for ‘t_books.php’, and use that as the template for your ‘books’ posts.  If it finds neither, the standard WP logic kicks into place, looking to see if you’ve defined a template for the post, and, if not, using single.php.</p>


Custom Post Type Template Redirect

For custom post types, allows you to have default templates specific to each custom post type.

Custom Post Type UI

Works well, but it's missing a number of CPT options: rest_namespace, capabilities, map_meta_cap, register_meta_box_cb, rewrite[feeds, pages, ep_mask], template, and template_lock. I realize these are not common, but it's a drag when you go to create your third CPT and realize you need to find a different solution that will accommodate one of the missing options. It's no good to have a few registered in CPTUI and a few by hand.

Good, but missing a bunch of options.


There is no documentation. In plugin description there is just a link to so called documentation that is just bunch of tutorial of doing specific stuff that are very scarce and targeted to people who already know how to use it. Nothing for first time users, to learn how to actually begin with plugin, or at least nothing that can be easily found.


One of the worst documented plugins I saw
