Retrieves path of single template in current or parent template. Applies to single Posts, single Attachments, and single custom post types.
Description
The hierarchy for this template looks like:
- {Post Type Template}.php
- single-{post_type}-{post_name}.php
- single-{post_type}.php
- single.php
An example of this is:
- templates/full-width.php
- single-post-hello-world.php
- single-post.php
- single.php
The template hierarchy and template path are filterable via the ‘$type_template_hierarchy’ and ‘$type_template’ dynamic hooks, where $type is ‘single’.
