Pages yes. I’m also adding the ‘maximum XX words’ to be able to have an exerpt.
For custom post types … Technically yes, but more error checking would be needed I suppose as I don’t know what fields are filled in the DB.
If you have a test environment, let me launch version 1.1.3 with Pages and some other stuff and then we can see for the custom posts.

I do have a test environment, and am very willing to do testing… 🙂
Hi @crzyhrse,
What kind of custom posts do you have ? And how do you display them ?
Is the link something like ‘/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=MyCPT’?
Pascal.
Hi Pascal,
I use this plugin to create them- https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/
A link to one in the backend looks like this – /mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=8442&action=edit
A link to the same in the front-end looks like this- /mysite.com/reiki_testimonials/helen-t/
To display a collection of them I use this plugin- https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-content-shortcode/
and using this shortcode on a standard page-
[loop type="reiki_testimonials" orderby="menu_order"]
[field title-link]
[content]
[/loop].
Hoping that can give you all the specifics…?
Hi Pascal,
I use the plugin Custom Post Type UI to create the CPTs…

Sorry for the repeat, posted the first but it didn’t seem to post, didn’t show up, so tried posting a variation, and now bit later there are two of them…
Q1: And then you can add comments to this post like to a normal one, right ?
Q2: Do you see them if you go to /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=MyCPT
(Of course replacing MyCPT with your post_type)
Yes, just like a normal one, all the same way as any other page or post, same ways of turning comments on and off for a page or standard post, all the same in the backend edit screen for the CPT as for a standard post, except that at the top it says Edit and then the name of the CPT, rather than Edit Post…
Not sure you saw my 2nd question:
Q2: Do you see them if you go to /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=MyCPT
(Of course replacing MyCPT with your post_type)
Oops, you’re right, didn’t see it… And yes, they show up in the backend (/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=MyCPT) of the CPT the same as a comment that is made on a standard post or page…
So it would be sufficient to have the dropdown on that page then… I’ll have a look.
Yes, very much so… And Thanks for getting into this so readily… 🙂
v1.1.3 uploaded.
Custom posts and pages covered

Let me know if it all works !
Pascal.
Many thanks Pascal…
It seems to be fine, will let you know if anything comes up…
Warm regards…
