Description

Changeset [25182] (see #16323) changed the rewrite tag for hierarchical post types so that the post-slug slot is mapped to the 'pagename' rather than the 'name' query var. This change has broken the is_single() function for some hierarchical post types. See the following logic in WP_Query::parse_query(): http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.7/src/wp-includes/query.php#L1493 Because 'name' is no longer set for these items, but 'postname' is, the check falls through to line 1504, setting is_page to true and is_single to false. This seems unexpected.

Here is a simplified version of the code I'm using to register the post type. It may be that this problem only arises when passing a certain kind of rewrite param; I'm sure you'll tell me if I'm doing it wrong :)

register_post_type( 'bp_doc', array(
	'label'        => __( 'BuddyPress Docs', 'bp-docs' ),
	'labels'       => $post_type_labels,
	'public'       => true,
	'show_ui'      => $this->show_cpt_ui(),
	'hierarchical' => true,
	'supports'     => array( 'title', 'editor', 'revisions', 'excerpt', 'comments', 'author' ),
	'query_var'    => false,
	'has_archive'  => true,
	'rewrite'      => array(
		'slug'       => bp_docs_get_docs_slug(),
		'with_front' => false
	),
) );

I'm not sure I totally grasp the reasoning behind [25182], so I don't have a great suggestion for fixing this. A low-overhead fix might involve adding another else clause in parse_query() that catches this kind of case (where the post type is not 'page' but 'pagename' is set).

See also #25190.

Codex currently says that is_single() checks if a single post of any post type except 'attachment' and 'page' is being displayed, and is_page() specifically checks for pages.

After [25182], it looks like is_single() would only return true for non-hierarchical post types, and is_page() would work for any hierarchical type. So we should either fix that or update Codex.
