 * Dear Michael,
 * I love your plug-in so far. I do have a a few questions. One would be the Custom
   Post Type option. I am not familiar with them, but I do know how to create them
   with a plug-in. I want my publications to be searched with some filters. I have
   got the Search and Filter Pro plug-in for that. It reads Custom Post Types and
   that way I can filter between specific CPT.
 * Is it that simple to just create a CPT using a plug-in and attach the teachPress
   pages in your settings page to that CPT? Or what would be a good way for this?
   I’m a bit lost and I want my publications filtered but displayed correctly at
   the same time.
 * Another question would be about the BibTex. In the future, we will have publications
   that do not have a BibTex key. I have not put ‘none’ there, but I would like 
   to not display it on my site at all for those publications, as it is required
   by your plug-in.
 * Could you help me out with this one?
    Regards, Neo

 * Hi Neo,
 * teachPress doesn’t use custom post types (because the plugin is older as this
   feature 🙂 ). So if I understand it right you want make your publications searchable
   through your blog search? Then you need a plugin which adds shortcode output 
   to the search.
    Or you use the publication search from teachpress: [[tpsearch]](https://github.com/winkm89/teachPress/wiki/Shortcode-Reference:-%5Btpsearch%5D).
   This can be expanded with filters for author/year/tags/type.
 * The bibtex key is just used for the bibtex entries because a bibtex key is required
   there. You can use the generate button in the publication add/edit screen to 
   auto generate them or give them a general value. It doesn’t matter for teachPress.
