 * Hi guys,
 * Question: I’ve made a custom post type called ‘Work’. The page that is showing
   these custom post types (page-work.php) displays my portfolio, and when I click
   on an item, it opens single-work.php. This page’s parent, however, is index.php,
   not page-work.php.
 * Is there a way to make page-work.php a parent of single-work.php? Am I making
   any sense?
 * Thanks,
    Jeroen
