Custom Post Template

    Hi,

    Sorry if this questions has been asked before, but I haven’t found an answer.

    Let me explain my issue. I’m trying to add a ‘Last modified’ above my posts. For this I use the Last Modified Timestamp plugin. I have added the correct php code to ‘single/content.php’ which I duplicated in my child theme, the php code is inserted before the_content().
    The ‘Last Modified’ time stamp is showing, so far so good. The problem is that I’m also using ‘Super Socializer’ plugin and I would like to have the ‘Last modified’ timestamp show below the sharing icons.

    To achieve this I think that instead of modifiying the single/content.php I need to make my own post template.

    So I copied page.php to my childtheme and added the timestamp php code, however the template is not showing when I’m creating a post?

    So my questions are these:

    1. What’s the right method to add custom text for each post before the post title, but after social sharing buttons?
    2. If my method is correct, how do I enable the template I’ve created?

    Thanks in advance for looking into this,

    Kind regards,

    Jonas

    Hello, to do something like this, you need to edit the layout.php file in the single folder, not the page.php.
    You need to remove the foreach, your file will look like this:

    <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

	<?php
	// Get posts format
	$format = get_post_format();
	$format = $format ? $format : 'thumbnail';
			
	// Featured image
	get_template_part( 'partials/single/media/blog-single', $format );

	// Title
	get_template_part( 'partials/single/header' );

	// Meta
	get_template_part( 'partials/single/meta' );

	// Content
	get_template_part( 'partials/single/content' );

	// Tags
	get_template_part( 'partials/single/tags' );

	}

	// Social Share
	if ( OCEAN_EXTRA_ACTIVE ) {

		do_action( 'ocean_social_share' );

	}

	// Next/Prev
	get_template_part( 'partials/single/next-prev' );

	// Author Box
	get_template_part( 'partials/single/author-bio' );

	// Related Posts
	get_template_part( 'partials/single/related-posts' );

	// Comments
	comments_template(); ?>

</article>

    Thanks for your fast reply. I’ve did it. Two questions.

    1. The template is not showing under ‘Post Attributes’ Template
    2. I’m also getting this error:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘, expecting end of file in /home/gojonas5/public_html/wp-content/themes/oceanwp-child/partials/single/layout.php on line 30

    3. Where do I have to add this: <span>Last updated: </span><?php the_last_modified_timestamp(‘custom’, array(‘format’ => ‘%date%’)); ?>

    so it displays before the text of my article, but after my SuperSocializer buttons?

    Thanks for your help,

    Jonas

    I don’t know where is your SuperSocializer buttons, but if you want to add it before the post content add it before:

    get_template_part( 'partials/single/content' );

    I managed to do that initially however the problem is that it first shows the timestamp, then the socializer buttons then the content. Where I want it to be first socializer buttons, then timestamp, then the content.

    Is it possible to display the socializer buttons via shortcodes? If yes, you just need to add the shortcode before timestamp.
