   I am learning Wordpress and modifying the Themeatic framework, but I am learning as I go.

   I have a custom post type called 'wheels'.

   I took the page.php file, and renamed it wheels_page.php

   I added the page template header.

   Now I only want it to display posts only for the post type "wheels".

   I added this line to the new page template (I put it just under the "container"):

   <div id="container">
   
   		<?php query_posts(array('post_type'=>'wheels')); ?>
   
   			<?php thematic_abovecontent(); ?>
   
   			<div id="content">

   I then created a page called "Wheels" and used wheels_page as the template.

   The PROBLEM is that when I open the page, it only shows one post, even though there are 6 post in "wheels".

   Clearly I am not in the loop, but I have no idea where to find it, let alone how to make it a working page template.

   Can someone help me?

   you are so going about this the wrong way.

   please read the codex on Template Hierarchy... which is geeky wordpress speak for which wordpress template will display what type of content

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy#Custom_Post_Types_display

   basically you can copy index.php, rename it archive-wheels.php and it will automagically show all the wheels posts, since it would be following the correct naming structure outlined in the codex

   or if you insist on doing it the 'page-template' way instead of using the built in approach, then you'd do better to copy from the blog template instead of page.php

   template-page-blog.php

   hope that helps!
