# [Plugin: Custom Post Template] Not recognising template

 * Hi. I’ve installed this plugin and have copied my single.php and just added the
   following to the very top of it:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Template Name Posts: NoMenu
       */
       ?>
       ```
   
 * I’ve named in no-menu.php and uploaded it to my theme directory (not in a sub-
   directory).
 * On the add new post page I have the drop down displaying but the only options
   are “Default” and “Custom Post Template”.
 * I’m running 3.2.1 with a custom theme. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 * Nick

 * Are you able to give me access to your WordPress install? If so, can you email
   me the details to `simon AT simonwheatley dot removeme co dot uk`, please?
 * I should have said, I can’t promise to fix anything but I will take a look when
   I have a moment.

 * Simon thanks so much for your response. I very stupidly was looking at another
   similar plugin which I had enabled at the same time. Custom Post Template is 
   working perfectly for me and was the whole time.

 * Phew. Glad it’s resolved for you (and that it wasn’t my plugin). 🙂
