 * I am developing a theme with posts with a LOT of custom fields data. But I just
   can’t get it to work when I use this file as single.php. If I am using it as 
   a template (and embeds this template to a clean single.php with the plugin post
   templates) it works. Is it a good idea NOT to make this template as a default
   single post template??
