return a single post in a loop

  • I am trying to create a single-{post_type}.php template file, I don’t know why my custom post type template is returning all the posts. Not sure where i’m going wrong, can anyone help me out?

    <?php

$args = array ( 'post_type' => 'foxware_recipe' );

 $the_query = new WP_Query ( $args );

?>

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

	<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
	<?php the_content(); ?>
	<hr>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

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

<?php endif; ?>

    change this line `<?php
    $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘foxware_recipe’ );
    …
    ?>`

    to

    <?php
$args = array( 'post_type' => array( 'foxware_recipe' ), 'posts_per_page' => '1' );
...
?>

    seemed to do the trick. Although not sure if that is the correct standard.

    Check the codex on WP_Query.

    You’ll want to add a posts_per_page limit to your $args.

    $args = array('post_type' => 'foxware_recipe', 'posts_per_page' => 1);
