Using custom meta boxes on custom post types

I wrote this code for a page template page of posts, it should have most of what you want.

There is a download of a child theme with the code on this post, it might be easier to look at!

Hi,
I am not sure what you mean by not give post formats and set this as a default?

Do you mean the single page layout?

You can just use a custom single.php to display your episodes and save single.php as episode.php, then you can use a custom loop to control the output.

In functions.php (Child Theme) add:

/* A single.php just for custom post type == 'episode' */
function my_episode_template_redirect() {
	global $wp;
	if ($wp->query_vars['post_type'] == 'episode') {
		if( file_exists( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/episode.php') ) {
			include( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/episode.php');
			die();
		}
	}
}
add_action("template_redirect", 'my_episode_template_redirect');

Note: in a child theme we use get_stylesheet_directory() in a parent theme we change this and use get_template_directory()
