Incorrect $post variable breaks plugin

  • Some plugins mess with the global $post variable, resulting in it reporting a post type of “page”, for custom post types. This breaks your plugin because when it looks up the template for a custom post type page, it’s looking in the wrong category. The simplest way to work around this is rather than using the $post variable directly, do an additional lookup via the post ID.

    $post_type = get_post_type($post->ID)

    By the way, this issue is being tracked on github by another plugin developer:
