I used this code in my file that I created and named it single-portfolio.com

<?php/*Single Post Template: [Descriptive Template Name]Description: This part is optional, but helpful for describing the Post Template*/?>

Then without adding the plugin or setting any function my portfolio custom posts are using this file as their single file template, I think in WP 3.3 we no longer need plugins like that.

I create the custom.php and throw it in the theme file as shown. I activate the plug in. Do I have to add all of the above listed code if all I care about is that one specific category? Or is there a shortcut? Thanks for your article!!

I just came up with an idea that required this, and in looking in the wp-admin panel, I noticed that custom post templates weren't available, but I thought "wait...I can't be the first person to need this, I'll google it" lo and behold, you have the solution. Thank you WPBeginner (and everyone else in the WP community that shares information and techniques). I seriously needed this little tut on creating custom post templates! This opens up so many doors for me.....so many doors. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Article! What if the element you want to change is not in the single.php file but in the loop.php file? The loop calls the post thumbnail to appear before the post title. But I want, for a specific category, to remove that thumbnail from the loop... Hopefully I am making myself clear. Thanks so much for this! Hey! Great Article!

You can also utilize the new Post Formats to display it that way. Maybe the method shared in this article is not the best method... Custom Taxonomy may also be another solution...
