 * Hi there.
 * I’ve created custom post types no problems but every time I click on a link to
   test its working ok it is defaulting to the index.php. I cant understand why 
   its doing this as i have created the relevant single.php and single-about.php(
   about is the post type) templates but it refuses to work!
 * Any help much appreciated 🙂

 * Its near enough exactly the same page so i know it works. Plus when I refresh
   the permalink settings by selecting a different type , then re-choosing the one
   i was using it works but then decides after a bit it doesnt want to work again.
   Ive only recently had this problem with WP3.4 it was working fine before on older
   versions!
