You have to name your template, like this:

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: "Name of template"
 *
 */
?>

Good luck!

Create a page template for your CPT, and create a page for it and choose the right CPT.

Then under settings somewhere, select your page that you have your CPT’s on. That should do the trick.

Yes! That worked like a charm!

Thank you, davoscript!

Oh, thanks!
I’ll sure try it, Davoscript. Thanks!

I’ll get back to you with the results.

Thanks t31os_!

I’m having this code in my loop.php file, since I’d like all custom post types and my original posts to be displayed within my blog/homepage.

Ok, well I use a plugin (GD CPT Tools) to create my custom post types. That shouldn’t even matter though…

Well, I can manage without archives. Don’t think people usually visits them anyway…

Hey, it did work, although the code totally screwed up my site, so I had to delete it.

My menu went missing, posts turned into pages and vice versa… Don’t really know why though.

I’ve tried that before, but it doesn’t work anymore. I don’t know why it doesn’t work, since it did with the alpha and beta versions of 3.0. With the final version, it doesn’t seem to work. Strange, I know…

Well, it couldn’t hurt to try it once more. Thanks for your reply!

Ok, thanks! I’ll try to do that in the future then. I’ve given out links to my tutorial on this subject before. If you like, it’s ok to delete them.

I’d rather have them deleted instead of warned, if you catch my drift ??

Thanks in advance!

I have a really great tutorial on this subject that can help you with this issue.

MichaelH, I hope that’s ok to link to my website, if it can help. Otherwise I won’t do it in the future. Thanks!

Don’t know if you’ve found the answer to your question, but I have a great tutorial on that subject. I’m sure it will help you with this.

In your loop.php file, just add this line of code before the loop starts.

<?php query_posts( array( 'post_type' => array('news', 'post') ) ); ?>

I guess that it’s a 'news' CPT that you made. If not, just change the 'news' within the code to something else. I included the 'post' in there, since if you do not include it, the original posts will not be displayed.

If you’d like to have more CPT’s displayed with your original posts, just add them like I’ve showed you.

Good luck!

Sorry, that I haven’t responded to your post.

I’m sorry, but I do not know the link for this tutorial. Can’t remember the name of the guy who wrote it…

I hope you find what you’re looking for eventually.

Good luck!

I think that capability type could only be “post” or “page”, but I’m not sure. I hope you figure it out.

I have a tutorial on that that can help you (I hope).
