I'm customizing a theme for a client from a theme they bought off of themeforest.net. I created a child theme, where all the customization is located.
Here is the issue: There are several custom post types in the parent theme that work perfectly if you use the parent them. But as soon as the child them is activated, I get 404 errors.
Some Notes:
- I've flushed rewrite rules and changed and saved the permalink, but no help.
- The parent theme's CPT shows in the admin backend, just not on the frontend.
- I added a cpt to the child theme and it works perfectly.
ADDED: In the parent theme, the cpts are registered in a custom class with the class instantiated in the functions.php without a hook.
Here are the cpt parameters that are passed to the class when instantiated:
/* The Custom Post Types */
'post-types' => array(
'gallery' => array(
'plural' => 'galleries', //plural : optional, but usefull in this case
),
'release' => array(
'menu_name' => 'Discography',
),
'review' => array(
'supports' => array('title','editor','thumbnail', 'comments'),
'exclude_from_search' => false
),
'show' => array(),
'item' => array(
'menu_name' => 'Store',
),
'video' => array(
'hide_text_editor' => true,
'seo' => false
),
Here is the snippet in the CPT class for registering the cpt:
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_menu' => true,
'query_var' => false,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => $slug ),
'capability_type' => 'post',
'has_archive' => false,
'hierarchical' => false,
'menu_position' => 5,
'taxonomies' => array(),
'supports' => $supports,
'exclude_from_search' => $exclude_from_search,
);
register_post_type($id, $args);
Any ideas?
permalinkssetting page and it will flush the rules. This is the easiest way to do it. – BandonRandon Mar 3 at 18:43
