Page Layouts Not Working for Custom Post Types (News Pro Theme)

[hossran]

I have implemented custom post types on my site using the CPT UI plugin and I have Page Layout Meta when creating a new post but no matter which layout I select my posts default to the site wide default layout.

I have spent hours researching this and cannot really find a solution to the issue. It appears I shouldn't have to do anything based on my research on the issue but I did see some mention around adding a single."custom post".php

any help and guidance is appreciated.

You can create your own CPT tempate. The file name would be single-{post_type}.php where {post_type} is the CPT slug. This is the main code from single-portfolio.php. It will help you get started in the right direction:

//* Force full width content layout
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

//* Remove the breadcrumb navigation
remove_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'genesis_do_breadcrumbs' );

//* Remove the post info function
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_post_info', 5 );

//* Remove the author box on single posts
remove_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'genesis_do_author_box_single', 8 );

//* Remove the post meta function
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_post_meta' );

genesis();

Thank you for that template! Is there anyway to get the built in page layouts to work with custom post types?

Actually, the layout meta box should automatically be there. If it's not appearing, the option to display it may not be checked in the editor page screen option at the top of the page.

Did you add the Genesis post type support for your CPT?

add_post_type_support( 'portfolio', array( 'genesis-seo', 'genesis-scripts', 'genesis-layouts', 'genesis-rel-author' ) );

Change portfolio to your post type.

I do have the meta box and all of the page layout options are available to me but no matter which one I select, my custom posts default to the site wide default of 'content-sidebar'.

Are you using a custom page template to display the CPTs? At this point, I can't help you any further without taking a look at the site. If you post a link tot he site, maybe I can see something obvious, but it's probably going to provide a deeper level of troubleshooting than I can provide as a community volunteer.
