Examples
#1 Various usage examples
is_single();
// When any single Post page is being displayed.
is_single('17');
// When Post 17 (ID) is being displayed.
is_single(17);
// When Post 17 (ID) is being displayed. Integer parameter also works
is_single('Irish Stew');
// When the Post with post_title of "Irish Stew" is being displayed.
is_single('beef-stew');
// When the Post with post_name (slug) of "beef-stew" is being displayed.
is_single(array(17,'beef-stew','Irish Stew'));
// Returns true when the single post being displayed is either post ID 17,
// or the post_name is "beef-stew", or the post_title is "Irish Stew".
// Note: the array ability was added in version 2.5.
#2 Enqueue a CSS stylesheet for any single Post page
if( is_single() ){
wp_enqueue_style( 'handle', 'path/to/cssfile.css' );
}
#3 A note about the Cyrillic and name (slug)
If your website does not change the Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet - plugin Сry to Lat (or similar) is not installed, when a post is created its name changes and Cyrillic transforms to special symbols (ex: contacts will be changed to %d0%ba%d0%be%d0%bd%d1%82%d0%b0%d0%ba%d1%82%d1%8b), so when checking you need to take this into account. I.e. if the name (post_name) is checked instead of the title, do so:
is_single('моя-страница'); // wrong
is_single( sanitize_title('моя-страница') ); // correctNotes
