Landing page template for post

[rogerp]

I have a post that I would like to use the landing page template on, which I am not able to set as it looks like you can only do it on pages.

Is this true? Is there any way to apply the landing page template to a post

Using the Smart Passive Income Theme

Thanks

You should be able to setup template file for a post type. Here is a gist which may help:

Also look at the WordPress Template Heirarchy in the Codex.

Add a template header like this example :

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

Thanks Brad,

Have added that file, and now get the post attributes / template option in my post, but not exactly clear on how you get to select landing page template?

As the options now are default template or any-post-type template

Just add the template header to a copy of the landing page template.

Thanks Brad, it's working but I have a mucked up landing page template?

It is hard left instead of centered? It's same for pages or posts so must have some CSS error somewhere styling it like that.

All seems to be looking good now, I had some CSS caching issues I think as looked on another machine and all is centred.

Question - how do I force users how have my css file cached to get new one?

Or is this out of my control and could be a long time?

The easiest way is with theme versioning. There is a good lab at KnowtheCode which explains the process. The first video is free and gives you the basic idea.
