PHP File Naming Issue | Customizr Theme | Yoast SEO

SCENARIO: When you establish a new post_type entry you must place a .php file in the theme and the instructions for this are present on/in the main screen for the CCTM Plugin to the right of your new post_type … it says … View Sample Templates … and you will find your instructions on what to name the file and exactly where to put the file.

PROBLEM: I did exactly as instructed. I named the php file single-thefilename.php, and put it in the theme files. My theme does not like this naming convention, I have no idea why, I am so lucky to have stumbled upon this discrepancy as I am loving the CCTM Plugin.

Somehow I did not name my php file single- and everything was working, I went back and changed it to what the instruction told me to name the file and everything went wrong.

I just duplicated the problem and if I name the file single-thefilename.php I get this error … Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in mypathwaytomyremoteserver

So, hope that helps someone who comes along and finds this note. When the single- prepend is present it also throws Yoast SEO into a tizzy. No, single- prepend, all works fine.

SOLUTION: For Customizr Theme anyway, do not use the single- prepend for the php file. This has been my experience, I can only speak for my experience.

Cheers,
