   Hello there,
   I am a sort of amateur theme developer but i have noticed one thing in my runs in trying to integrate custom post types into my site.

   I have set up a custom post type called "Galleries" and it is to hold posts, that contain just a gallery of the images attached to the post.

   I have a few posts up, with dummy content under a regular 'post' post type, and then a few galleries up under a 'gallery' post type.

   I am using the following code to pass the 'gallery' post type into the query.
   

   add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'add_gallery_post_type' );
   
   function add_gallery_post_type( $query ) {
   
   	if ( is_home() || is_feed() )
   		$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'gallery' ) );
   
   	return $query;
   }

   But for some reason, posts with the gallery shortcode do not work, and the gallery is not loaded. I am not too sure whether there is a glitch, or if im adding the post type
   incorrectly causing the gallery shortcode to break.
   Thanks!

   I did some fooling around, and i think i fixed it.
   when you set the query to post_types post, and gallery you also need to include attachment otherwise they will not load in!
   problem solved!

   New code:
   

   add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'add_gallery_post_type' );
   
   function add_gallery_post_type( $query ) {
   
   	if ( is_home() || is_feed() )
   		$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'gallery', 'attachment' ) );
   
   	return $query;
   }
