Hi,

Using WordPress 6.0.1, Enfold 5.1.1 with Classic Editor (theme version) for posts, but ALB for pages.

My client presented a problem where related posts do not show. Upon investigation, it seems that the index.php template is being used instead of single.php. Related posts have been tagged.

get_post_type() returns ‘post’
( https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_type/ )
global $template returns …’/wp-content/themes/enfold/index.php’ (should return …’/wp-content/themes/enfold/single.php’)
get_single_template() returns empty (should return …’/wp-content/themes/enfold/single.php’)
( https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_single_template/ )
get_query_template(‘single’) returns empty (should return …’/wp-content/themes/enfold/single.php’)
( https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_query_template/ )

This is all according to https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/

Is there a reason for this inconsistency?

On my own site:
Using WordPress 6.0.1, Enfold 4.9 with Classic Editor (theme version) for posts, but ALB for pages.
get_post_type() returns ‘post’
( https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_type/ )
global $template returns …’/wp-content/themes/enfold/single.php’ (correct)
get_single_template() returns …’/wp-content/themes/enfold/single.php’ (correct)
( https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_single_template/ )
get_query_template(‘single’) returns …’/wp-content/themes/enfold/single.php’ (correct)
( https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_query_template/ )

Hi,

Thank you for the inquiry.

Did you check the plugins in the client’s site? We added the following code in the functions.php file and all functions return the appropriate values.
```
add_action('wp_head', function() {
	global $template, $post;
	echo '<pre>' . var_export($template, true) . '</pre>'; // returns single.php
	echo '<pre>' . var_export(get_post_type(get_the_ID()), true) . '</pre>'; // returns post
	echo '<pre>' . var_export(get_single_template() , true) . '</pre>'; // returns single.php
	echo '<pre>' . var_export(get_query_template('single'), true) . '</pre>'; // returns single.php
});
```
Tested on Enfold 5.1.1 and WordPress 6.0.1.

Best regards,
Ismael
