Custom post types

I am trying to add custom post types and cannot find how to do it. I have registered a post type but don’t seem to ever be able to access it.

As a matter of fact, I could do with a simple add_filter(‘the_content’,’whatever…’), but also this doesn’t seem to work.

Where should I start form?

thanks

Hi, the add_filter (‘content’, …) approach will not work properly.
You might want to start by using the WordPress template hierarchy (with a copy of index.php file) or with these snippets for a more advanced developer approach : change the WordPress query.
Hope this helps and enjoy the theme

I’ve just spent the last 3 days banging my head against the keyboard.
Assuming you have a child theme and you registered properly the CPT and you see them in the dashboard, I did some renaming here and there to be able to see and use theme front-end. here is the list:

1) make a copy index.php and rename it into single-yourCPTname.php
2) make a copy index.php and rename it into archive-yourCPTname.php

1 makes your single CPT visible
2 makes your CPTs in a list

Depending on how you created your CPT (with custom taxonomy or standard, etc) this “old” snippet below helps to integrate your CPT with all the other WP elements;
paste this into your functions.php
```
//Add Custom Post Types to Tags and Categories in WordPress

function add_custom_types_to_tax( $query ) {
if( is_category() || is_tag() && empty( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) ) {

// Get all your post types
$post_types = get_post_types();

$query->set( 'post_type', $post_types );
return $query;
}
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'add_custom_types_to_tax' );
