My current hierarchy is as follows:
- Custom Post Type: Projects (projects.php)
- single-projects.php
I've checked out this link: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/202859/custom-post-type-pages-are-not-found, but flush_rewrite_rules( false ); doesn't seem to work. I've also tried manually saving on the permalinks page, but it was either the projects.php being able to appear, or single-projects.php appearing, but not both.
Code in functions.php from https://getflywheel.com/layout/how-to-create-a-portfolio-for-your-wordpress-site/:
//Creating Custom Post types for Projects
function setup_projects_cpt(){
$labels = array(
'name' => _x('Projects', 'post type general name'),
'singular_name' => _x('Project', 'post type singular name'),
'add_new' => _x('Add New', 'Project'),

'not_found' => __('No Projects Found'),
'not_found_in_trash' => __('No Projects found in the trash'),
'parent_item_colon' => '',
'menu_name' => 'Projects'
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'description' => 'My Projects',
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'projects'),
'public' => true,

);
register_post_type('projects', $args);
}
add_action('init', 'setup_projects_cpt');
//The following snippet is used to enable categories for the projects CPT.
function projects_taxonomy() {
register_taxonomy(
'project_categories', //The name of the taxonomy. Name should be in slug form (no spaces and all lowercase. no caps).
'projects', //post type name
array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'label' => 'Project Categories', //Label Displayed in the Admin when creating a new project
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => array(
'slug' => 'projects', // This controls the base slug that will display before each term
'with_front' => false // Don't display the category base before
)
)
);
}
add_action( 'init', 'projects_taxonomy');
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'projects' ) ); // adds thumbnail support for the Projects CPT
