This will list all the templates from your theme.
Just choose the template which you want to show for a particular post and the post will have that template attached to it.
What if I just want to show the template of single.php or single-{custom-post-type}.php?
Select ‘Default Template’ and save the post.
I am not able to see the metabox and the post is not selecting custom template on front end, what to do?
