assign post format to single.php without get_template_part

you don’t have to use get_template_part(). You can just encode the logic and formats directly inside single.php.

Ok, so my php-pages are content-aside.php, content-gallery.php, content-link.php. They work perfectly in index.php, search.php, archive.php (I use the code get_template_part('content', get_post_format()) there).

What logic should I write to the single.php to force to use the content-gallery.php with corresponding CSS styles in case I choose the gallery post format?

Thank you.

Why not use that same link in single.php?

I guess I don’t understand what you’re trying to do.

I have created the file content.php that contains now:

<article class="post <?php if (has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>has-thumbnail <?php } ?>">
			
		<!-- post-thumbnail -->
		<div class="post-thumbnail">
			<?php if (is_single() ) {?>
					<?php the_post_thumbnail('banner-image');
					
			} else {?>
					<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('small-thumbnail');
					}?></a>
		</div><!-- /post-thumbnail -->

			<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
			
				<p class="post-info"><?php the_time('j. n. Y G:i'); ?> | od <a href="<?php get_author_posts_url(get_the_author_meta('ID')); ?>"><?php the_author()?></a> | Publikováno v 

					<?php
						$categories = get_the_category();
						$separator = ", ";
						$output = '';

						if($categories) {
							foreach ($categories as $category) {

								$output .= '<a href=" ' . get_category_link($category->term_id) . ' ">' . $category->cat_name . '</a>' . $separator;

							}

							echo trim($output, $separator); 
						}
					?>

				</p>

				<?php if (is_single() ) {
					the_content();

				} elseif ( is_search() OR is_archive() ) {?>
					<p>
					<?php echo get_the_excerpt(); ?>
					<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">?íst dál&raquo;</a>
					</p>
				
				<?php } else {
					if ($post->post_excerpt) { ?>
					<p>
					<?php echo get_the_excerpt(); ?>
					<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">?íst dál&raquo;</a>
					</p>
					<?php } else {
						the_content();
					}

				} ?>

</article>

and I would like to remove the undesirable if-conditions is_single() in the content.php. I would like to create specific file single.php that will correspond the format of the post chosen in the WordPress backend.

Unfortunately I can’t do it now because I don’t know the suitable code in single.php to respect the type of the post.

If I write the line get_template_part('content', get_post_format()) to the single file then the condition is_single() will be called automatically “in the single.php” (I know that I am in single file so it is easier write there the code to respect the format directly).

In single.php, you’d do something like

if ( 'gallery' == get_post_format() ) {
   your stuff goes here 
   } else {
   whatever you do if it's not a gallery 
   }

The idea of the content-* files is that single.php is kept relatively agnostic to the post formats — you farm out the differences through the get_template_part function to various content files.

So if I understand well – the function get_post_format() should return the string standard or aside or gallery or link based on the chosen format of the post?

So this code should work:

if ( 'gallery' == get_post_format() ) {

   <article class="post post-gallery">
	<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
	<?php the_content(); ?>
   </article>

} elseif ( 'aside' == get_post_format() ) {

   <article class="post post-aside">
	<p class="mini-meta"><?php the_author();?> @ <?php the_time('j. n. Y G:i')?></p>
	<?php the_content(); ?>
   </article>   }

} elseif ( 'link' == get_post_format() ) {
   
   <article class="post post-link">
	<p class="mini-meta"><?php the_author();?> @ <?php the_time('j. n. Y G:i')?></p>
	<a href="<?php echo get_the_content(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   </article>

} else {
   ... 
   }

and then I should only set the CSS of the classes post-link, post-aside, post-gallery.

When the format is ‘standard’, it is treated as no format is assigned, so get_post_format() will return false in that case. If another format is assigned, you are correct, the format slug is returned, like aside or gallery. For this function to work, the post_type registration must declare support for post-formats. Formats are simply another taxonomy, like categories and tags. Adding format support is the same as adding support for any other taxonomy. You could use the taxonomy function get_the_terms() to determine the format if you wanted to.

Using get_post_format() with no arguments requires the call be made within a standard WP Loop. If all of these items are addressed, it appears your code should work. If it’s not, try checking your error logs for clues, or define WP_DEBUG as true in wp-config.php.

Thank you all for all the information. Now it will take some time to check and debug it ??
