 * I’ve added custom posts for years and never had problems, but today is a first.
 * I’ve added my first CPT and it works fine, I then wanted to add a second CPT 
   and now the first doesn’t appear and ‘Page not found’
 * This is my code;
 *     ```
       add_action("init", "custom_post_types");
       function custom_post_types()
       {
   
           register_post_type('products', 
               array('label' => __('Products','templatic'),
                   'labels' => array(  'name' => __('Products','templatic'),
                   'singular_name' => __('Product','templatic'),
                   'add_new' => __('Add Product','templatic'),
                   'add_new_item'=> __('Add New Products','templatic'),
                   'edit' => __('Edit','templatic'),
                   'edit_item'=> __('Edit Product','templatic'),

                   'supports'          => array(   'title',

                                                   'thumbnail',
                                                   'editor',

               )
           );   
   
       }
       ```
   
 * I’ve got two single files;
    single-products.php single-accessories.php
 * When I delete the accessories CPT, products re-appears. I wonder if I’ve made
   a mistake somewhere but can’t see it….

 * Hello Sam,
 * I have just tested your code and can see both custom post types in the backend,
   are you referring to the front end files conflicting? This might be because in
   your custom post types you have not specified whether the custom post types are
   using archive pages.
 * `'has_archive' => false`
    or `'has_archive' => true`
 * Please let me know if my suggestion has resolved the issue by marking this post
   as resolved.
