Story Budget not displaying anything

Sorry about the delay.

If you click the Edit Flow menu link in the WordPress admin and then click on Calendar, do you see an option to select more post types then just Post to appear in the calendar?

A link to imgur with a screenshot for reference.

You should be able to see other custom post types that you’ve created in the calendar settings and after selecting them they should appear in the calendar. If that’s not the case, reply back here and I’ll try and work out what’s going on.

If the above doesn’t work (and I’m not sure that it will), you should be able to do the following:
Check out this filter (ef_story_budget_posts_query_args), which you should be able to modify to pull in different post types into the budget. It just utilizes WP_Query, so you should be able to reference the following page when modifying the arguments for that query.

If you need any help implementing feel free to reply back here.

No problem!
So let’s assume I’ve registered a custom post type in the following way:

function i_love_reading() {
    $args = array(
      'public' => true,
      'label'  => 'Books',
      'taxonomies' => array( 'category' )
    );
    register_post_type( 'book', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'i_love_reading' );

I’ve included in my registering of the custom post type ‘taxonomies’ (important if you’d like your custom post type to show up in the budget).

The other snippet of code you’ll need (probably best to put it somewhere in your functions.php) is the following:

add_filter( 'ef_story_budget_posts_query_args', 'story_budget_custom_post_type_filter' );

function story_budget_custom_post_type_filter( $args ) {
	$args['post_type'] = array(
		'post',
		'page',
		'book'
	);

	return $args;
}

Notice in the story_budget_custom_post_type_filter function I add to the $args array the ‘post_type’, and within that I have ‘post’, ‘page’, and my custom post_type, ‘book’. After I add that snippet, the custom post type ‘book’, will show up in the story budget. Add or remove more post_types in that function to show or hide them in the story budget.

Make sure to be careful when modifying your functions.php file!

Interesting, what theme are you currently using (and what are the slugs of the custom post types you’re using)? Might be able to rewrite the above to work for it.

Hrm, premium themes make it a little tougher to debug.

When you pasted the above code into your functions.php, did you change book to whatever post type you use?

So the above block of code (the only one you need to paste in) would look more like the following:

add_filter( 'ef_story_budget_posts_query_args', 'story_budget_custom_post_type_filter' );

function story_budget_custom_post_type_filter( $args ) {
	$args['post_type'] = array(
		'post',
		'page',
		'<strong>os_news</strong>'
	);

	return $args;
}

Was that how you pasted it in to functions.php?

Heh, no on the strong tags. Meant to use those for clarification, guess they don’t show up correctly in code segments. I’ll try and mess around with it a bit more, but being a premium theme there’s not much I can do in terms of testing. Sorry bout that. If you figure it before I do, definitely post the solution back here. I’m curious about what the problem would be.
