 * Hi All,
 * I have created several custom post types with Magic fields 2, when creating an
   item I have attached it to a specific category.
 * When looking at the front end, the category widget indicates that there are posts
   under the categories.
    However when I want to display the posts from a specific
   category, I get the error:
 * “Nothing Found
    Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive.
   Perhaps searching will help find a related post.”
 * Could someone indicated where I need to search or what I need to change in the
   loop?
 * Many thanks!

 * Thanks, the permalinks were not enable.
 * After some minor success programming myself I came across the code below.
    It
   adds all custom content types to the loop.
