Wordpress: Linking custom post types with templates?
I'm hoping somebody can help me with this...
I created a custom post type ('lessons'). I don't want it to use the default post template, so I created an alternative ('unit.php') that I can use with my page builder. However, I am having an issue.
Although I set the template to 'unit' and everything displays fine, it seems to randomly revert back to the default on some lessons. I have no idea why. Even without this issue, it's a slight pain to select a different template each type I create a lesson.
I was wondering if there is a simple way to create a rule in Wordpress that means if I create a 'lesson' CPT, then it would automatically use a 'unit' template (unless otherwise specified)?
Any pointers would be welcome!
