Is it somehow possible to modify a custom post type after it has been registered with register_post_type?
The idea is that a plugin is adding a custom post type and I would like to turn in into a hierarchical post type, but I don't know how. I don't really want to hack the plugin file - I'm hoping there is a hook that I can use?
It's pretty easy to change anything about a custom post type if you registered it yourself. If you used a plugin to do it, can't you just go to the plugins settings page and modify it there? I've only ever used a CPT plugin once before, but it allowed you to edit your post types as much as you wanted.

Was looking for a similar thing, depends on what you're trying to modify but here's a way to change what the post type supports.

If the post type is created by a theme or plugin, it's better to modify it after it's registered in the event that the theme or plugin updates so that your settings will be retained.
You must log in to post.
