# [Plugin: Custom Post Template] CPT Template Names?

 * So what are we supposed to name the templates we want to use with CPTs?
 * I get that Regular Posts need “Template Name Posts” in front, but what about 
   CPTs?
 * For example what if I have a CPT named “test”? I tried naming the template “Template
   Name test : templatename”, but nothing shows up.

 * CPTs need the templates to be named in the same way as regular posts, the templates
   will show up for everything (e.g. if you have two templates named appropriately
   these will show for regular posts and any enabled CPTs).
 * Hope this helps.
