Is singular.php not working in Genesis?

[Andrea Barghigiani]

Hi all,
I am a bit confused about how single view is working on Genesis.

Looking at the Template Hierarchy if I want to modify both the single article view and the single page view I could use a file named singular.php.

Well I've tried it but is not working in Genesis.

I've searched around but I did not find any simple solution to it.

I understand that WordPress does not load this file because it finds the single.php file in the parent theme and is not a big issue to create this file in my child theme instead of the more general one singular.php.

Anyway I would like to know if any of you have found a solution about it because I think this is the right approach since it follows the WordPress Rulez.

Thank you in advance,
Andrea

singular.php will not override page.php because of the Hierarchy https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/#single-page

Use :

single.php for posts.

and

page.php for single pages.

Otherwise you could use a template_include filter to load the same file on single posts and pages but it's not as efficient.

Another option is to use the single_template filter.

Or, you can use 1 page template for any post type using a header like this :

// Template Name: Any Post Type Template
// Template Post Type: post, page, portfolio

And name the file anything you like.
