        'supports'=> array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'author' ),
    )

Answer 1

After creating single-{posttype}.php You just update your permalink. Got to Settings->permalinks. First time every developer face this problem.

Put in functions.php flush_rewrite_rules( false );

I have faced the same issue but it will be resolved by code replaced as below:

function register_fashion() {

    $labels = array(
        'name'                  => 'AJ Fasions',
        'singular_name'         => 'AJ Fasion',

    register_post_type( 'aj-fashion', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_fashion', 0 );

Answer 4

Use single-{posttype}.php for the single template. Also, if you register your post type with the has_archive argument set to true, then you can use archive-{posttype}.php for your archive template, which will allow you to skip that query that you have there, since the global $wp_query object will already be populated with your custom post type.

In your case check below example

single-fashions.php instead of single-aj-fashion.php.
