# Custom posts

 * My custom post type is apparently not using the custompostname-archive.php, custompostname-
   category.php and custompostname-single.php files that I have set up for them.
   They are instead (seemingly) using the primary (archive.php, category.php and
   archive.php) files.
 * I used the well-known “Custom Post UI” plugin to set up the one custom post type
   that I am using. I am relying on the plugin’s statement that any custom posts
   set up with the plugin will use the categories (my only taxonomy) established
   for the regular posts. However, when accessing these custom post categories in
   a category sidebar I’ve created with the standard WP widget, it calls the existing
   posts within that category.
 * I don’t know if I should hardcode anything into the functions template to make
   it work properly, as I don’t know if this will render the plugin code useless
   or make a mess.
 * Please help!
