My work.php file redirects me to single.php instead of single-work.php

Hi, I'm following How to build a wordpress theme and since I want to make my own Wordpress site I customized it more to me.

My problem is this:

When I click on a single project from my work.php, Wordpress redirects me to single.php instead of single-work.php.

Dose anyone have a solution for my problem?

Here is the code:

work.php

<?php
/*
    Template Name: Work Page
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

            <div class="row main-content container">
                <h1>Þetta er work.php</h1>

                <?php
                    $args = array(
                        'post_type' => 'verkefnin'
                    );
                    $the_query = new WP_Query($args);
                ?>

                <?php if(have_posts()) : while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

                        <div class="project-container" data-link="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
                            <h3>
                                <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
                            </h3>
                            <p>Vefsíða</p>
                            <div class="project-overlay">
                                <div class="overlay">
                                    <a class="more" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Skoða verk</a>
                                </div>
                                <img src="<?php the_field('image'); ?>">
                            </div>
                        </div>

                <?php endwhile; else: ?>

                    <p>There are no posts or pages here</p>

                <?php endif; ?>

            </div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

single-work.php

<?php get_header(); ?>

            <div class="row main-content">
                <h1>Þetta er single-work.php</h1>

                <?php if(have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

                    <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
                    <?php the_field('description'); ?>
                    <hr>

                <?php endwhile; else: ?>

                    <p>There are no posts or pages here</p>

                <?php endif; ?>

            </div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I hope this is enough to make some sence Best regards: Bergur Ingi

So you've set up your custom post type to be 'verkefnin' correct?

If that's the case you need to rename single-work.php to single-verkefnin.php in order to have Wordpress understand that this is the single post template for that specific post type.

Check out the codex for custom post type template: http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Type_Templates
