 * I have a custom post type “single-image.php”.
 * **How do I make multiple templates for it? **

 * No, but try it with a plugin:

 * keesiemeijer, thanks a lot.
 * BTW – there’s about 73 (up to 100) sites benefiting from the plugin help you 
   gave me before. [http://www.symbiostock.info](http://www.symbiostock.info)

 * Cool. I’m glad you like it. Thinking of adding a feature to only get related 
   posts that have a post thumbnail.
