    copied!<p>This has worked for me in the past, so I am unsure why it is not working now. </p> <p>I have created a custom post type:</p> <pre><code>add_action('init', 'register_team'); function register_team(){ $args = array( 'label' =&gt; __('Design Team'), 'singular_label' =&gt; __('Design Team'), 'public' =&gt; true, 'show_ui' =&gt; true, 'capability_type' =&gt; 'post', 'hierarchical' =&gt; true, 'rewrite' =&gt; array("slug" =&gt; "design-team",'with_front' =&gt; true), // Permalinks format 'supports' =&gt; array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail' ), 'add_new' =&gt; __( 'Add New Member' ), 'add_new_item' =&gt; __( 'Add New Member' ), 'edit' =&gt; __( 'Edit Member' ), 'edit_item' =&gt; __( 'Edit Member' ), 'new_item' =&gt; __( 'New Member' ), 'view' =&gt; __( 'View Member' ), 'view_item' =&gt; __( 'View Member' ), 'search_items' =&gt; __( 'Search Design Team' ), 'not_found' =&gt; __( 'No info found' ), 'not_found_in_trash' =&gt; __( 'No info found in Trash' ), 'parent' =&gt; __( 'Parent Info' ), 'menu_position' =&gt;__( 7 ), ); register_post_type( 'team' , $args ); } </code></pre> <p>and called the function which I can see in the CMS, add new entries, etc. I need to attach a page template to this custom post type. On the same site, I have created a custom post type named showroom, and attached the custom post type to a page by creating a file called page-showroom.php. However, when I create a file called page-team.php, it will not associate to this page. Is this a syntax issue?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong> I got around this by creating a page in the CMS, and adding the template using the Page Attributes. The reason I do not particularly like this solution is due to the possibility a user could change the template of the page, causing it to no longer work.</p> <p>I just feel like I am missing something relative to how the WP Core defines page-?? variable template names or it is a typo, stupid mistake, etc...</p> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong> As requested, here is the code from functions.php which loads all of my CPT's</p> <pre><code>// CUSTOM POST TYPES add_action('init', 'register_showroom'); add_action('init', 'register_project_gallery'); add_action('init', 'register_slideshow'); add_action('init', 'register_team'); // ADD Showroom function register_showroom(){ $args = array( 'label' =&gt;

register_post_type( 'team' , $args ); } </code></pre> <p>So I can successfully create a page-showroom.php, page-project_gallery.php, single-project_gallery.php, single-showroom.php which automatically attach themselves to the correct CPT but if I create page-team.php, it just loads the page.php.</p> <p>Here is a sample of page-showroom.php, which works:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php /* Template Name: Showroom */ ?&gt; &lt;?php get_header(); ?&gt; &lt;div id="primary" class="site-content showroom"&gt; &lt;div id="content" role="main"&gt; &lt;?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?&gt; &lt;?php get_template_part( 'content', 'showroom' ); ?&gt; &lt;?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- #content --&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- #primary --&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;?php get_footer(); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>and page-team.php, which does not work</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php /* Template Name: Team */ ?&gt; &lt;?php get_header(); ?&gt; &lt;div id="primary" class="site-content team"&gt; &lt;div id="content" role="main"&gt; &lt;?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?&gt; &lt;?php get_template_part( 'content', 'team' ); ?&gt; &lt;?php //comments_template( '', true ); ?&gt; &lt;?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- #content --&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- #primary --&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;?php get_footer();
