I have created a custom post type with php and my problem is that this post type is not appearing in the menu of Toolset Types Plugin. I think that must be some option that I have to fill but I have tried with almost everything and I don´t know why this is happening.

I want to edit the relationship between post types, specially between cars and news.

My code to create the custom post type is this.

function car_post_type() {
    $labels = array(
        'name' => 'Coches',
        'singular_name' => 'Coche',
        'menu_name' => 'Coches',
        'name_admin_bar' => 'Coches',
        'parent_item_colon' => 'Padre:',
        'all_items' => 'Todos los coches',
        'add_new_item' => 'Añadir nuevo coche',
        'add_new' => 'Añadir coche',
        'new_item' => 'Nuevo coche',
        'edit_item' => 'Editar coche',
        'update_item' => 'Actualizar coche',
        'view_item' => 'Ver coche',
        'search_items' => 'Buscar coches',
        'not_found' => 'No hay resultados',
        'not_found_in_trash' => 'No se han encontrado coches en la papelera',
    );
    $rewrite = array(
        'slug' => 'coche',
        'with_front' => true,
        'pages' => true,
        'feeds' => true,
    );
    $args = array(
        'label' => __( 'Car', 'clever' ),
        'description' => __( 'Cars', 'clever' ),
        'labels' => $labels,
        'supports' => array(
            'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'thumbnail', 'revisions',
        ),
        'taxonomies' => array(),
        'hierarchical' => false,
        'public' => true,
        'show_ui' => true,
        'show_in_menu' => true,
        'menu_position' => 5,
        'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-dashboard',
        'show_in_admin_bar' => true,
        'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
        'can_export' => true,
        'has_archive' => true,
        'exclude_from_search' => false,
        'publicly_queryable' => true,
        'rewrite' => $rewrite,
        'capability_type' => 'post',
    );

    register_post_type('car', $args);
}
add_action('init', 'car_post_type', 0);

Thanks for your help.

  • Your registration seems fine, the usual things that hide them from get_post/WP_Query calls are all good. I would look into how the plugin creates its list of post types. Does it even allow for custom post types?

  • If you create the post type with the plugin, it works. But if you do it in PHP it does not appear.

  • That seems to be because when registering through plugin, it is creating a option with an array value of names, and then calling that to both create the menu first, and then to register the types and taxonomies. Your post type is not in their options, so it won't be added. It doesn't appear to check for post types created outside itself.

  • get_option( WPCF_OPTION_NAME_CUSTOM_TYPES, array() ); search the plugin directory for that line and you will see what I mean. There is a filter you can hook though: $data = apply_filters( 'types_post_type', $data, $post_type ); at the top of wpcf_custom_types_register() in /library/toolset/types/embedded/includes/custom-types.php line 223
