Content Template Element not applying to Custom Post Type single pages

Hi there,

The issue comes from the custom single-case.php file in your child theme.

That template loads the Case content directly using:

get_template_part( 'content', 'case' );

This bypasses the GeneratePress function that allows a Content Template Element to replace the default content.

In single-case.php, change that line to:

generate_do_template_part( 'case' );

This will continue using your existing content-case.php file whenever no Content Template applies, while allowing the Content Template Element to take over when its display conditions match.

Alternatively, if the custom single-case.php and content-case.php templates are no longer required, you can remove them from the child theme and let GeneratePress use its standard single-post template.

The separate Page Hero works because its after_header hook is outside this template-part handling.

You’ve changed get_template_part( 'content', 'case' ) to get_template_part('case' ), however, Alvind asked to change it to generate_do_template_part( 'case' );

The spacing is coming from two places.

First, this custom CSS moves the Page Hero upward by the height of the header:

.single-case-hero {
    top: calc(-1 * var(--site-header-height));
}

Because the Hero uses relative positioning, this changes its visual position but leaves its original 76px of space behind.

Please replace that rule with:

.single-case-hero {
    top: auto;
    margin-top: calc(-1 * var(--site-header-height));
}

@media (max-width: 768px) {
    .single-case-hero {
        margin-top: 0;
    }
}

Using a negative margin moves the Hero and also allows the Entry Content to follow it without leaving the header-height gap.

Your Single Case Entry Content Element also has 80px of top padding on its outer Container, with 60px on mobile. You can reduce or remove that padding in the Container’s Spacing settings if you want the post content to sit closer to the Hero.

You’re welcome!
