Get Registered Custom Post Type to get All Custom Taxonomies

Question

I am trying to get all the Custom Post Types Registered either by theme or plugin, but no method is working.

$postargs = array(
   'public'   => true,
   '_builtin' => false
);

$postoutput = 'names';
$postoperator = 'and';    
$post_types = get_post_types( $postargs, 'names', 'and' ); 
/// Main Loop Start
foreach ($post_types as $post_type){  
//and then i want to Get all the Custom Taxonomies for those post types in a loop
$taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies('$post_type', 'objects');    
// Loop 
foreach ($taxonomies as $taxonomy){
// Do Stuff with taxonomy
}    // Loop




    }    /// Main Loop Ends

But the problem is only WordPress Defaults Post Types are showing up if i do

'_builtin' => true

• post
• page
• attachment

            'description' => "Faq"

        );

Try this (tested) code below. I believe the issue was the passing of the $post_type parameter to get_object_taxonomies (i.e. you passed it in quotes as '$post_type'. If uncomment the two var_dump's you'll see what information is outputted.

<?php
    $postargs = array(
       'public'   => true,
       '_builtin' => false
    );

    $post_types = get_post_types( $postargs, 'names', 'and' ); 

    // Main Loop Start
    foreach ($post_types as $post_type){  
        //var_dump($post_type); 
        $taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies($post_type, 'objects');    
        foreach ($taxonomies as $taxonomy){
                //var_dump($taxonomy);

                // Do Stuff with taxonomy here


            }//foreach taxonomy
    }//foreach post_type
?>

Note: I've tested this with custom post types registered by a theme, but not with custom post types registered by plugins, but this should work for those too

Okay i found the problem was var_dump was executed before wordpress gets to any registered post type. so i added 199 in its priority and it worked. :) Thank you all for your help...

function test(){
var_dump( get_post_types(array('_builtin' => false)));
}
add_action ('admin_init','test', 199);

I found the problem is not by using the get_post_types function, but where we call this function. I'll describe it, clearly.

Create a function:

function get_all_custom_post_types() {
    $args = array( 'public' => true, '_builtin' => false );
    $output = 'objects'; //'names'; // names or objects, note names is the default
    $operator = 'and'; // 'and' or 'or'
    $custom_post_types = get_post_types( $args, $output, $operator );           
    $post_types = array();
    foreach ( $custom_post_types as $k => $post_type ) {
        $post_types = $post_type;
    }           
    return $post_types ;
}

Use this custom function where you want to call this, but use only in any WordPress action or filter callback function, e.g. when creating a callback function for add_metabox action, then call this function:

add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'add_mb_option' );
function add_mb_option() {  
    add_meta_box( 'mb-option', 'custom metabox detail', 'add_mb_option_element',
        'custom_metabox', 'normal', 'high' );
}
function add_mb_option_element() {
    $cpts = get_all_custom_post_types();
    // More custom code will go here
}

Very simple to use.
