# Hijacking Other Custom Post Types?

 * Hi,
 * So far Car Demon works great – I’ve had to do some customizing, using your filters,
   to make it work properly with my theme, but until now I haven’t had any real 
   issues.
 * The website I’m developing has another Custom Post Type – Services. The client
   lists the services they offer, such as exhaust work, inspections, etc. The issue
   is that, when I use the built in templates, Car Demon seems to be hijacking the
   output. When I go to view a single Service, I get the Cars for Sale archive page,
   instead of the layout I’ve indicated in the archive-auto_services.php
 * If I turn off the “Use Include Theme Files” option, the Services show as they’re
   supposed to. I suppose I can build my own archive-cars_for_sale.php and single-
   cars_for_sale.php, but then I have issue with the Search feature…
 * Any way to fix this?

 * Hi kyrieelayne,
 * CarDemon uses a template redirect to supply the template files. It checks for
   a post_type of ‘cars_for_sale’ and it also does a check for the different taxonomies(
   like vehicle_condition, vehicle_year, etc).
 * Off the top of my head I can’t think of a reason why it would hijack the results
   for another post_type. We often use other post_types for our own sites for similar
   reasons and this is the first time this issue has been reported that we’re aware
   of.
 * We’d like to help you resolve the problem. To determine the issue we’re going
   to need to take a closer look at your site. If you would kindly visit CarDemons.
   com and fill out the contact form on our About page we’ll discuss setting up 
   a login to your site so we can look at this directly.
 * Once we resolve this issue we can report back here so everyone else knows how
   to resolve this if they have a similar problem.
 * thanks,
    -j
