12385,it's unclear which template file is used by custom post types,danielpataki,,"Hello! I'm not sure this is a problem, it's more a case of bad usage practices on my end, but perhaps something that count be addressed. 

I'm using post_types to create sections on a blog. For example, you could create a Yahoo Answers type forum by creating a post type named ""questions"". I named it in the plural because I want to have a nice permalink style, so I created a page named ""questions"" and some sub-pages like ""most-recent"", ""most-commented"".

In this case however, the template pages used by wordpress are a bit mixed up. page.php is used to display the main section page, which is blogurl.com/questions/ , single.php is used to show a question single post, blogurl.com/questions/the-title-here, but for subpages, index.php is used, while it should be page.php. 

I did not check how the function works, but I am guessing that since there is a post_type named ""questions"", wordpress assumes that ""most-viewed"" is a post as well. When it doesn't find it, it falls back on index.php. 

Again, I think this is probably not good practice, I'm just bringing this to attention so maybe I can help a bit. ",defect (bug),closed,normal,,Template,3.0,major,worksforme,,
