Hi everybody! I have a problem with wp hierarchy. I have created a custom template portfolio, and I have assigned it on the page in the wordpress backend.
page-portfolio-col1.php
When I click the post, I would like that the landing page is on a single-portfolio-col1.php. But it doesn't work, automatically it redirects to "page.php"
Why does it happen?
Thanks.

Sorry, I can't help. Maybe somebody else will try. Also, your English is much better than my Italian ;)

Courses Plus Student 9,023 PointsCan you clarify...are you trying to set a POST or a PAGE to use your custom template?
Alessandro Maculotti
4,954 PointsSure.. =) So I have a custom template (page-portfolio-col-1.php) that works. This custom template load all posts that have a specific category_name
<?php
$args = array(
'category_name' => 'arrampicata'
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ;?>"><?php the_title() ;?></a>
When I click on title i would like that arrive on single-portfolio-col-1.php or single.php, but this don't work and I arrive on page.php
I hope this is more understandable than my precedent answer. And sorry for my english bad.

4,954 PointsThanks for everything!! Really =) . I have found the problem so was so simple.. I have created a page with the same name of the post and "the_permalink()" creates a conflict.
