Wordpress 将单个帖子永久链接重定向到首页.php 文件

Question

Having a strange wordpress custom theme issue that I can't crack.

I have a custom post type 'artists' that I am displaying posts for that include a link with the_permalink();

I expect this permalink to take me to the template that I have named single-artists.php -- but instead it takes me to front-page.php every time, even though the link in the browser is the correct permalink that should take me to the single post page.

I have refreshed my permalinks in settings several times, and I have loaded the page and flushed my cache/removed cookies. Still going to front-page.php, no matter what post I click on, even though the permalink does change each time.

Anything else I should be doing? AFAIK the naming convention for single-artists.php is correct as the post type IS artists.

Answer 1

Classic case of me being a beginner, I hadn't noticed that my posts had been hidden from public. Setting public to true (like below) fixed it. If there's any other newbies who run into this hopefully this helps you!

function create_artist_post() {
  $args = array(
    'labels' => array(
      'name' => 'Artists',
      'singular_name' => 'Artist'
    ),
    'public' => true,
    'show_ui' => true,
    'menu-position' => 20
  );
  register_post_type('artists', $args);
}

add_action('init', 'create_artist_post');
